According to Italian publications Corriere del Veneto and Il Messaggero, the investigation shows that for almost a decade, dozens of women were deceived and assaulted in a so-called gynecological clinic, which did not actually exist.
The case came to light in June 2024, after one of the victims filed a complaint with the authorities in Milan. The investigation revealed a well -organized network around a fictitious structure, “Centro Clinic Italy”, which launched online ads for the recruitment of “actors” in educational videos, with medical theme.
Proming amounts between 150 and 500 euros, the network attracted young people who believed to participate in scientific projects. In fact, they were subjected to alleged gynecological examinations, executed by a retired radiologist who was given as a gynecologist, while Alessandro Possati filmed the whole scene, claiming to be the cameraman.
According to investigators, criminal activity started in 2016 and continued until 2025, involving at least 135 victims. In the case of six of them, investigators discovered video recordings on Possati's computer.
House arrest
Alessandro Possati is now under house arrest, waiting for judicial decisions.
Possati is a prominent figure in the artistic and cultural world of Italy. He is the founder of Illumina Film company, specialized in cultural documentation and corporate videos for European museums and institutions. He is also the son of a renowned Venetian family and a descendant of the founders of the iconic Bauer Hotel.
In addition, he is known as a promoter of contemporary art, through projects such as Zuecca Project Space, an active exhibition space. In this capacity, Possati collaborated with the Venice Film Festival, Palazzo Grassi and, recently, with the Brukenthal National Museum in Sibiu, where he curated an exhibition dedicated to the artist Ioan Sbârciu.
