Judge Sends Fabrizio Corona and Accuser to Trial in Lorenzo Pellegrini Case

Prosecutors cite phone data with rental checks showing the alleged meetings never occurred.

Overview

  • A Rome judge accepted prosecutors' request to move the case to trial, charging Corona with defamation and the woman with false accusation, defamation and threats.
  • Investigators report cell-site records, movement traces and rental checks show no overlap or contact between the woman and Pellegrini.
  • Checks also found no presence for the woman at Stadio Olimpico on the dates she cited, and the Prati apartment she tied to Pellegrini was rented by another man.
  • Deputy prosecutor Claudia Alberti's review under coordinator Giuseppe Cascini shifted the probe, which had earlier seen Pellegrini investigated for stalking.
  • The trial is set to begin on December 1, 2026, and Pellegrini has joined as a civil party seeking at least €100,000 to donate to charity.
