Local reports indicate that approximately 70 players from Italy's top-flight Serie A were involved in a mass prostitution party.

According to Italy's ANSA news agency on the 21st (local time), multiple football players were found to have attended a party hosted by a Milan-based event agency currently under investigation for prostitution facilitation and exploitation charges. While a specific list has not been released, it is reported that players from top Serie A clubs including AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Juventus were among those involved.

The Milan Prosecution Service has placed four ringleaders under house arrest and issued preventive seizure orders on assets worth 1.2 million euros (approximately 2 billion won) suspected to be illegal proceeds. They are accused of establishing the event agency as a front company, recruiting over 100 women via social media (SNS), and providing illegal package services to clients including prostitution, late-night parties, and inhalation of nitrous oxide (laughing gas). The Prosecution Service believes the criminal activities spanned several years.

Women who were questioned stated in testimony given in 2024 that they "engaged in sexual relations with paying guests, mostly composed of professional football players." They also testified that events including escort services were held almost daily, even during the COVID-19 lockdown period.

Notably, laughing gas was frequently used at the illegal party venues. Investigations revealed that professional athletes formed the main customer base due to the gas's characteristic of not triggering positive results in doping tests.

In addition to football players, the customer list included prominent businessmen and F1 drivers, and the Prosecution Service is expanding its investigation into allegations of money laundering by the organization.

Meanwhile, the Italian national football team has faced strong criticism from local fans after failing to qualify for the World Cup finals for three consecutive tournaments, following their misses in Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022, and now North America 2026.
