Ben, former collaborator, accuses Fabrizio Corona of manipulation

Ben, a 27-year-old digital strategist and former collaborator of Fabrizio Corona, has released a video titled ‘Falsissimo – Speciale Tutta la Verità’ to expose the inner workings of Corona’s digital projects.

Ben claims he was instrumental in developing the monetization and digital strategies that grew Corona’s YouTube presence from 40,000 average views to a multi-million euro operation. However, he alleges that much of the content was manufactured, including the use of manipulated recordings and false materials to create scoops. One specific allegation involves a segment on footballer Lamine Yamal, where Ben claims compromising audio attributed to a young woman was actually staged by a collaborator under Corona’s direction.

To protect himself, Ben states he has recorded over 20 terabytes of data, including phone calls, video calls, and private footage, which he has stored in a safe. He describes this collection as a form of ‘preventive protection’ against potential future issues, suggesting that even those close to Corona are not safe from him.
