Fabrizio Corona, once again sentenced: today he has been convicted by the Milan Court for aggravated defamation against Wanda Nara, her husband Mauro Icardi, former Inter striker now at Galatasaray, and midfielder Marcelo Brozovic, also a former Inter player now at Al Nassr. At the heart of the trial, which concluded today in the first instance and had been ongoing for years, was an article from February 2019 on the "King Corona Magazine" website, at the time of the former photo agent, titled "Mauro Icardi Divorces His Wife - Wanda Nara Cheated on Her Partner with Marcelo Brozovic".
Corona Convicted, The Case Details
Judge Angela Scalise of the fourth criminal court has sentenced the former king of paparazzi to a fine of 1500 euros and to compensate Icardi and Nara, also the striker's agent and former Argentine showgirl, with 7500 euros each, and Brozovic, represented by lawyer Danilo Buongiorno, with 5000 euros (thus a total of 20,000 euros). These are provisional compensations "immediately enforceable" and then the overall quantification of the "non-pecuniary" damages will have to go through a civil lawsuit. Corona was also sentenced to "repair the damage" to Nara and Icardi to be defined in a "separate judgment".
Wanda Nara, in April 2022, had also testified in court as a civil party in the trial, which stemmed from complaints by her, her husband, and Brozovic. That false scoop by Corona, she recounted, was at the base of the breakup between Icardi and Inter that took place at the end of the 2018-2019 season. After that piece that "reported all things not true", the former showgirl explained, "the problems began and Mauro then had to change teams, Inter had also weighed this situation on him, he was told he had to change agent, that he could no longer have a female agent".
"We are satisfied with the conviction sentence, he was also sentenced to compensation for damage as a provisional and we reserve the right to proceed with the action for compensation in civil court", explained lawyer Danilo Buongiorno, who represents Brozovic. "We're talking about a 1500 euro fine, a conviction sentence, but to a pecuniary penalty only - said lawyer Ivano Chiesa, defending Corona -. I'm not satisfied, but just a pecuniary penalty is still a good thing, even though we will appeal". Corona, the lawyer added, "had explained that he reported a news already published, how could he check the source? It went like this, let's now continue the battle". The Prosecution had initially requested the filing of the investigation stemming from the complaints, but Brozovic, with his lawyer, had opposed and thus the trial against the former photo agent proceeded.
