Fabrizio Corona: “During the interrogation on the Signorini case, the White House called me”

While he was being interrogated in Prosecutor’s office in Milanwhere he is under investigation for revenge porn following the complaint by Alfonso Signorini, Fabrizio Corona it would have been contacted by the White House. Corona himself recounted the episode, which occurred while he was being heard by prosecutor Alessandro Gobbis and deputy Letizia Mannella, holder of the file against him in the investigations entrusted to the Flying Squad and the postal police, during an episode of the podcast Gurulandia. “At 11:00 I was at the Prosecutor’s Office, questioned by the prosecutor Letizia MannellaI look at my phone and see a message. ‘I’m on the line with the embassy, ​​can you connect? Can I add you? He is happy with the recording you made about him and he would like to talk to you now. I wrote to him that I would call him back later because I had the most important prosecutor in Milan in front of me”, revealed the former “king of the paparazzi”.

But who was on the other end of the phone? Not the president Donald Trumpbut rather Paolo Zampolli, the Trump administration’s special envoy for Italy, a Milanese entrepreneur who moved there when he was young and also served as a diplomat at the United Nations representing a Caribbean state. Corona spoke about Zampolli, Trump’s close friend for thirty years to whom he introduced Melania, in the first episode of his video podcast “The Price of Success” and, with perfect timing, contacted him while he was in the Prosecutor’s Office, where he asked to be heard after the searches related to the “Signorini gate”.

According to what Corona revealed, Zampolli contacted him through one of his spokespersons, “who told me to tell the magistrate that the White House was calling me”. At that point he would have explained to him that he was under interrogation, but Zampolli would have insisted: “‘Say you have to take this phone call from Washington’. Because Zampolli lives in the White House, It was the opportunity of a lifetime.”. So Corona would have said to the prosecutor: “’Doctor, excuse me, please‘They’re calling me from the White House.’ At first he didn’t believe me and said, ‘Stop it.’ So I told her: ‘Look, they’re really looking for me from the White House, mi is looking for Trump‘. I don’t know if Trump knows who I am, but his wife, Melaniahe knows me very well! I swear, it’s true.” How the matter ended, and whether Corona was actually contacted by Zampolli, is not known.
