Rome prosecutors have formally placed Fabrizio Corona under investigation on charges of defamation. The former paparazzo was investigated after an interview with an online newspaper in which he accused Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrini of stalking a Romanian woman.
Corona isn't the only suspect. The Romanian escort who reported Pellegrini for stalking is also implicated in the investigation and faces charges of slander. Yesterday, the Rome prosecutor's office ordered a search of the woman's home, entrusting the operation to the Carabinieri of Rome and the DIGOS of the Parma police headquarters.
The investigation aims to clarify the circumstances of the accusations made against the Roma footballer and to verify whether there was a defamatory and slanderous intent orchestrated in concert between Corona and the escort. The affair has raised great media attention, adding a new chapter to the numerous controversies that have involved Corona over the years.
