An as-yet-unknown Formula 1 driver is said to be named in a large Italian investigation into an escort network allegedly involving dozens of Serie A players (footballers from Italy’s top division). This is reported by Italian media based on wiretapped conversations and court documents. According to Italian media, based on intercepted calls, there was a request within the network for an escort on behalf of a “friend who drives in Formula 1.” In that same conversation, there was reportedly a response offering to arrange a woman. However, the identity of the alleged driver is not known and is not officially confirmed anywhere, as per La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Rumors suggest the organization was run by an agency from Cinisello Balsamo, led by two prime suspects, which officially dealt with organising events in exclusive clubs in and around Milan.
It is also suggested that promotion took place via the Instagram page “Made_luxury_concierge,” which is reportedly followed by multiple Serie A players. Additionally, trips may have been organised, particularly to the Greek island of Mykonos.

The alleged network is said to have organised luxury evenings for wealthy clients, including footballers, entrepreneurs, and other VIPs, while escort services were reportedly offered as well.
These activities are believed to have been ongoing for several years and even continued during the pandemic, although much of this is still based on statements and investigative documents that have not been fully made public.
During these evenings, the young women who worked for the agency were allegedly invited to have sex with guests for payment, primarily selected from among professional footballers.
A striking detail from the file, according to the Italian outlet, is that nitrous oxide was also used during these gatherings, a substance that is not considered doping and therefore is not detected in tests. This would make its use attractive among athletes.
