Alessandro Bastoni has decided not to appear for questioning scheduled for Friday. Salvatore Scuto, the player's attorney, confirmed that the soccer player will exercise his right to remain silent, describing the prosecutor's decision as an "invitation to appear in the dark". The investigation is centered around the alleged parties organized by Alessio Salamone, the individual accused of managing the meetings with a price tag ranging from €10,000 to €15,000 per evening. The Inter Milan and Italian national team defender's position appears to be lightened by the words of the girl involved, who was seventeen at the time and firmly denied receiving money in exchange for sexual services, rejecting any suggestion that she worked as an escort. Prosecutors are now focusing their investigation on the actual flow of money and the messages exchanged between those involved. In one chat included in the case file, Bastoni himself complained to the organiser about the costs he had incurred, including taxis for guests and a sushi dinner, prompting Salamone to jokingly mock his excessive thriftiness. Following the failed meeting with the player, the Prosecutor's Office will decide on the next steps in the inquiry.
