Signorini investigated for sexual assault and extortion
According to the lawyers Missaglia and Aiello, 'the main perpetrator of this surreal and virulent aggression is known, a person who - despite previous criminal convictions - would now like to take on the role of judge and public prosecutor, imposing his own rules for personal gain and certainly not for the sake of justice. All at the cost of irreparable and enormous damage to the intended victims"
The Milan Public Prosecutor's Office has opened an investigation against journalist and TV presenter Alfonso Signorini. It was a due act following the complaint filed in recent days by former Big Brother contestant Antonio Medugno. In the complaint filed last 24 December, which ended up on the desk of the prosecutor Letizia Mannella, head of the Fifth Department that deals with the protection of vulnerable groups, Medugno, assisted by the lawyers Cristina Morrone and Giuseppe Pipicella, asked to proceed for sexual violence and extortion, offences now included in the file.
Prosecutor Mannella is also coordinating with her colleague Alessandro Gobbis the investigation against Fabrizio Corona, who is being investigated for revenge porn on the basis of Signorini's complaint. A complaint lodged after the 'king of the paparazzi', through his 'Falsissimo' format, accused the journalist and TV presenter in recent weeks of having essentially carried out a 'system' of sexual favours requested - this is the version of the former photographic agent - from some Big Brother participants or those aspiring to enter the now famous 'house'. It was precisely this file that made it possible to seize photos, videos and chats and led Medugno to come forward and denounce Signorini. Medugno's may not be the only lawsuit against the journalist. In these hours also the former GF Vip Gianluca Costantino, assisted by the lawyer Leonardo D'Erasmo, is dissolving his reservation about a similar legal action.
I'm in collaboration with Mediaset
Temporary stop to any collaboration with Mediaset. The decision was taken by Alfonso Signorini, who decided to self-suspend himself after the storm created by Fabrizio Corona's accusations that there was an alleged 'system' to enter the Big Brother house as a contestant or would-be contestant.
The decision has been welcomed by the Cologno Monzese company, which has made it known that it is ready to 'oppose the spread of defamatory reconstructions', at the same time calling on those who work for the company to 'rigorously apply the code of ethics'. The lawyers Daniela Missaglia and Domenico Aiello, the new lawyers of the presenter and director of the weekly magazine 'Chi', claim that a 'slanderous and defamatory campaign' is underway aimed at 'destroying' the honour of their client.
'It is well known,' they state, 'that the main culprit of this surreal and virulent aggression is a person who today would like to take on the role of judge and public prosecutor. "In order to deal with this extremely serious illicit conduct, which is evident to all, and above all the widespread reverberations that they find in some uninvolved media,' they said in a note, 'Alfonso Signorini, a professional who has built an entire career as a journalist, author, director and television host with scrupulousness, seriousness and abnegation, is forced to suspend as a precautionary measure all his ongoing editorial commitments with Mediaset.
