Overview
- Prosecutors in Milan registered Signorini as under investigation for alleged sexual violence and extortion following a complaint by former contestant Antonio Medugno.
- Signorini has temporarily self‑suspended from all editorial collaborations with Mediaset, which said it accepted the move and is conducting internal checks on code‑of‑ethics compliance.
- Fabrizio Corona is separately under investigation for disseminating sexually explicit material after publishing private chats and images, with police seizing data from his home and production company Velvet Cut.
- Investigators are analyzing the seized digital material as part of the parallel probe sparked by Corona’s online disclosures, which Signorini’s lawyers denounce as a calumnious and defamatory campaign.
- Additional legal actions are being evaluated by other former participants, and Endemol Shine Italy has initiated its own review of how recent casting and auditions were conducted.
