Pellegrini Seeks €100,000 in Damages as Corona Is Charged With Defamation

Prosecutors say forensic checks found no contact between Pellegrini and the accuser.

Overview

  • The Roma midfielder filed a civil claim for at least €100,000, with his lawyer Federico Olivo submitting the motion to the preliminary hearing judge.
  • The case stems from an interview published on Corona’s site dillingernews.it in which a 25-year-old escort accused Pellegrini of stalking.
  • Carabinieri investigations coordinated by deputy prosecutor Giuseppe Cascini deemed the escort’s account totally unfounded.
  • Forensic analyses reported no phone contacts or evidence of meetings between Pellegrini and the woman.
  • The criminal proceeding was adjourned, with the next hearing scheduled for March 17, and the escort faces a calunnia charge.
