And SportMediaset are claiming that the 33-year-old former Manchester City striker refused to take a breathalyser test after crashing his Audi Q8 into a wall.
Balotelli, who now plays for Turkish side Adana Demirspor, is back home while recovering from injury.
According to the Italian newspaper Fatto Quotidiano, the ex-Liverpool ace lost control of his Audi Q8 car and smashed it into a wall.
The impact of the collision forced the air bags to go off as medics quickly raced to the scene after being called.
Balotelli managed to climb out of the wreckage and was then attended to by paramedics after lying on the ground.
Then SportMediaset say that local cops tried to give Balotelli a breathalyser test, but the Italian international declined.
The news outlet then states that led to police confiscating Balotelli’s driving licence.
The 2012 Premier League title winner’s brother, Enock Barwuah, is then said to have arrived on the scene of the crash after returning from training with his local football team and then took Balotelli home.
The controversial ace has just recently returned to Turkish Super Lig side Adana Demirspor after previously spending the 2021/22 season there.
Balotelli, who recently sold his fleet of supercars including a Ferrari and Lamborghini after losing his passion for them, left City for AC Milan in 2013 but surprisingly returned to the Prem a year later with Liverpool.
He struggled to impress at Anfield, scoring just once in 16 games, before going back to Milan on loan.
Balotelli did enjoy a three-year spell at Nice after leaving Liverpool in 2014, making 76 appearances and scoring 43 goals before he moved across the French Riveria to rivals Marseille for a season.
It was a short but successful spell having scored eight goals in 15 appearances but he returned to Italy for stints with Brescia and Monza before going to Turkey for his first spell at Adana.
He then joined Swiss Super League club Sion for what turned out to be a disastrous season but appeared to be now trying to resurrect himself in Turkey before his fresh injury problems.
