Milan, 23 Apr. (LaPresse) – ‘In recent days, my name, like that of other footballers, has appeared on websites, social media and in newspapers in connection with an investigation by the Milan Public Prosecutor’s Office. I wish to make it absolutely clear that I am completely unconnected to the events under investigation.’ This is how Milan striker Rafa Leao has responded to the Milan Public Prosecutor’s Office investigation into a luxury escort ring whose clients included several Serie A footballers. “I am not involved and I have committed no crime. I urge everyone to avoid associating my name with this situation in an arbitrary or superficial manner, without regard for the truth or respect for private life,” writes the Portuguese striker. ‘Before we are footballers, we are people with families and reputations. That is why I have already instructed my lawyer to defend me in every forum against anyone who continues to spread false news or information that damages my reputation,’ concludes Leao.
