For now, only one case is open, against Fabrizio Corona: revenge porn . This investigation has led to the seizure of photos, videos, and chats that could also be used in another investigation, which includes possible crimes—all yet to be evaluated—of sexual assault and attempted extortion . The case is against Alfonso Signorini.
The Corona-Signorini affair, which broke out just over a week ago, prompted the now former "king of the paparazzi" and creator of the show 'Falsissimo' to file a statement before Milan prosecutors and then put on his show in front of cameras, photographers, and reporters.
"I also spoke on the record about the 'Signorini system,'" he explained. "For three minutes I talked about revenge porn and an hour about the crimes committed by Alfonso Signorini, all his connections and all his friendships. I have over a hundred witness statements , I've given the prosecutors their names, and two charges against him are already ready."
Corona accuses Signorini of having carried out for years a system of sexual favors requested from contestants of Big Brother and Big Brother VIP, or from those aspiring to enter the famous "house." Corona had shown photos and chats between the host and former Big Brother VIP contestant Antonio Medugno, 2021-2022 edition . Medugno, after speaking in the second episode of "The Price of Success," is expected to file a complaint with the Public Prosecutor's Office in the coming days for sexual assault and attempted extortion against Signorini. "Another person is ready to do the same," Corona stated.
These reports will then be reviewed by Deputy Prosecutor Letizia Mannella and Prosecutor Alessandro Gobbis. They could trigger an investigation into the journalist and host, although the facts reported, their origin, and the classification of any crimes will need to be verified.
"If Signorini's cell phone is taken, they'll find Sodom and Gomorrah," Corona attacked. "If they don't search his house after filing a complaint, I'll stand here in court," he added, maintaining that his "isn't revenge," but "after I saw him present his latest book ('Amami Quanto Io T'amo'), I said 'that takes a lot of courage,' and I started making phone calls and recovered this material. I have a ton of it, I have some stunning photographs of him ."
Corona made that "system" public during the interrogation, requested by him and assisted by lawyer Cristina Morrone of Ivano Chiesa's law firm. Corona's clear goal is to turn the tables and transform yet another investigation against him into what he calls the "Italian me-too." The problem, he said, "is that he holds such an important role, and with that role you can't try to lure and propose entry into a television program, which must go through casting calls; there are rules . He will pay for what he does." For now, Signorini has responded with the complaint that landed Corona under investigation. "But he opened a Pandora's box," Corona retorted.
Meanwhile, Codacons announced that it, along with the Association of Radio and Television Service Users, has filed a complaint with the Milan prosecutors, the Italian Communications Authority (AGCOM), and the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la Privacy), "requesting clarification and an investigation" into the Signorini case "in the public interest in the transparency, fairness, and legality of the television system."
