Overview
- Antonio Medugno spoke for about three hours to deputy prosecutor Letizia Mannella and prosecutor Alessandro Gobbis as a victim-witness under the codice rosso procedure.
- He reiterated accusations of sexual violence and extortion, stating the abuse and alleged blackmail occurred at Alfonso Signorini’s residence in Milan.
- Signorini denies wrongdoing, was interviewed by prosecutors on January 7 at his request, and says he is the target of a defamatory campaign led by Fabrizio Corona.
- Investigators have obtained photos, videos and chats through a separate revenge-porn file tied to Signorini’s complaint, which reports say influenced Medugno’s decision to file.
- Prosecutors are assessing whether to expand the probe, with no other formal complaints on record, and Signorini has stepped back from Mediaset duties including Grande Fratello Vip.
