An investigation by Milan prosecutors has uncovered a ring that organized private parties with luxury escorts for wealthy footballers and professionals, with a turnover that authorities say exceeds 1.2 million euros. Four people have been placed under house arrest, accused of exploitation of prostitution and money laundering.
At the center of the investigation are Deborah Ronchi and Emanuele Buttini, directors of the "Ma.De" agency, along with two of their associates. According to investigators, they organized parties in the most exclusive clubs in Milan and "after-parties" in hotels for footballers, ensuring the presence of young girls, Italian and foreign, some of whom were also offered as escorts.
In the wiretaps released by the investigation, conversations between the suspects are heard:
"I want a girl for a fee," one says.
"I'm sending him the Brazilian girl," the other replies.
According to the investigation documents, the organizers had about a hundred girls at their disposal, while for VIP clients sexual services were also reserved in private club settings or hotel rooms. In some cases, a footballer is said to have spent about 3 thousand euros for one night.
The girls were paid by the agency 70 to 100 euros per evening, while the main profits came from wealthy clients. According to investigators, around 200 thousand euros were collected from the footballers alone.
The investigation began after a woman reported in 2024 that events with "escort services" were organized in an apartment in Cinisello Balsamo and that some girls were forced into prostitution.
The judge in the case described the file as "a serious and alarming situation", emphasizing that the activity functioned in an organized manner, with separate roles, contacts with well-known nightlife venues in Milan and direct connections with professional footballers.
