Controversial businessman leaks compromising photos involving several former Milan stars in the Serie A Escort Scandal
Italian football has once again found itself at the center of controversy after reports emerged that controversial businessman Fabrizio Corona allegedly leaked sensitive footage involving several current and former AC Milan players.
The latest developments have added another layer to an already expanding scandal tied to luxury parties, escort allegations, and ongoing investigations in Serie A.

According to multiple Italian reports, the leaked material allegedly shows footballers attending private gatherings where nitrous oxide, commonly referred to as “laughing gas”, was being used alongside luxury models and guests.
The footage reportedly circulated online rapidly, triggering widespread debate across Italian media and social platforms.
Among the players named in connection with the reports are Theo Hernandez, Samu Castillejo, Rafael Leao, Hakan Calhanoglu, Gianluigi Donnarumma, and former Milan icon Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
However, it is important to note that none of the players mentioned have been formally accused of criminal wrongdoing.
Reports from Milan Matters claimed that Theo Hernandez may have played a major role in organizing some of the gatherings, allegedly even securing transportation for guests and models to attend exclusive events.
Viral clips from the parties reportedly show players singing the UEFA Champions League anthem while socializing.
Serie A investigation expands beyond leaked party footage
The controversy comes during a tense period for Italian football authorities, as prosecutors in Milan continue investigating a separate operation tied to Ma.De. Milano, a luxury concierge agency accused of operating as a front for a high-end escort network.
Earlier this year, authorities arrested agency owners Emanuele Buttini and Deborah Ronchi on allegations related to criminal association and the exploitation of prostitution.
Investigators believe the organization may have coordinated services for wealthy businessmen and dozens of Serie A players connected to clubs including AC Milan, Juventus, and Inter Milan.
Despite the growing media attention, prosecutors have emphasized that attending private gatherings or parties is not itself a criminal offense under Italian law.
The investigation instead focuses on whether illegal activities occurred behind the scenes and whether organized exploitation took place.
Additional reports have described allegedly intercepted conversations tied to the broader investigation.
One wiretap reportedly referenced a “pregnancy scare” involving a well-known footballer, while another allegedly included discussions about arranging “paid girlfriends” for athletes attending events.
In another exchange cited by Italian media, a woman staying in a hotel room with a footballer allegedly requested “balloons,” a slang reference to nitrous oxide canisters commonly used recreationally.
As public speculation intensified, several players and representatives quickly moved to distance themselves from the controversy.
The legal team representing Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic reportedly described the association of his name with the investigation as “totally inappropriate,” while Arsenal defender Riccardo Calafiori publicly insisted he was “completely uninvolved.”
Fabrizio Corona himself remains a polarizing figure in Italy.
The former paparazzo and businessman has long been associated with celebrity scandals and legal controversies, making his alleged involvement in releasing the footage particularly explosive within Italian sports media.
The situation continues to evolve, with prosecutors expected to keep examining financial records, communications, and party arrangements tied to the broader investigation.
For now, while no footballers have been formally charged, the reputational fallout surrounding several major Serie A names is already significant.
