TTwo names are at the epicenter of the high-class prostitution scandal that is shaking the Italian soccer world. They are Emanuele Buttini and Deborah Ronchi, owners of an event agency called Made Luxury Concierge. They were arrested along with two other associates, Alessio Salamone and Luan Fraga, on suspicion of aiding and abetting prostitution.
The list of soccer players allegedly involved in this scheme was extensive and turned the soccer world upside down. Dean Heusen, Victor Osimhen, Luca Pellegrini, Matteo Cancellieri, Alessandro Bongiorno, Samuele Ricci, Daniel Maldini and Wayne Rooney, among others. The network operated from prestigious venues in Milan, but also organized events in high-end tourist destinations such as Mykonos and Sant Balto. They offered a complete package of hotels, restaurants, nights out at the best clubs, and sexual encounters.
Italian police are also investigating possible use of nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, as a recreational drug. Although it can cause serious side effects, it is a substance that leaves no trace in the body, and is apparently used by soccer players across Europe.
The photo of Emanuele Buttini and the football player quickly went viral. He is also pictured with Usain Bolt, proving the power and influence he had over some of the world’s most famous athletes. As many as 70 footballers who play or have played in Serie A are said to be involved. The network’s revenue could reach 1.2 million euros. There will be no criminal penalties for soccer players, only pimps. F1 drivers who are personal friends of AC Milan and Inter players are also said to be involved. “We’re sending Brazilians,” a voice said from one of the eavesdropping devices shown exclusively to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
