Overview
- Judge Silvia Pansini ordered Emanuela Maccarani to stand trial in Monza, with the first hearing scheduled for February 10, 2026.
- Four former athletes—Anna Basta, Nina Corradini, Beatrice Tornatore and Francesca Majer—and the association Change the Game were admitted as civil parties.
- The case advanced after the Monza prosecutor initially sought dismissal, with judge Angela Colella in March 2025 imposing indictment over alleged misconduct at the Desio academy.
- The accusations describe collective weigh-ins in underwear, body-shaming insults, pressure to restrict food and water, and reported psychological harm during 2017–2020.
- Maccarani denies using the reported insults, calls the matter a media-driven case, says she will bring many witnesses, and arrived in court with her lawyers and supportive athletes.
