Thursday, 2 January 2014. Silvio Berlusconi appeals against his conviction for paying for sex with a minor and abuse of office, nasty things he did when Prime Minister of Italy, according to judges.
Berlusconi just couldn't resist teenage Ruby's charm |
Berlusconi personally phoned the policemen, saying that they better release Ruby into the safe hands of show-girl-turned-into-politician Nicole Minetti (the attractive young woman will also get a 7-year sentence – later on – for procuring women for the former Italian prime minister's bunga-bunga parties in Villa San Martino), since it seemed she's the nephew of Egypt's president Hosni Mubarak.
Actually Silvio Berlusconi has always denied the charges (as he's been doing for other trials relating, defamation, extortion, perjury, Mafia collusion, false accounting, embezzlement, money laundering, tax fraud, corruption and bribery), but the Italian judges (who – according to the centre-right leader - are puppets in the hands of the communists) don't seem to pay attention to his pleas. In November 2012 a Milan's Court disclosed the sleazy details of the Arcore's sex parties that led to Berlusconi's conviction in order to make sure that everybody gets a picture of the old man lack of morality.
As far as his “passion for beautiful women” is concern, Berlusconi has never denied it (he also said that it's “still better then being gay”), even though his current girl-friend Francesca Pascale is allegedly obliging him to momentarily walk the line and giving up extravaganzas full of half-naked girls.
Berlusconi's conjurations: last thing he needs is a new conviction |
Berlusconi was already found guilty of tax evasion, has already been expelled from the Senate of Italy, was already given banned from holding public office, but being condemned for the sex-related charges could really sully his reputation, also in the eyes of the Italians, even though the 77-year old billionaire said that putting him into jail would provoke a revolution in Italy.
In the past the leader of Forza Italia party was able to make the weather of Italy's politics, the support he will or will not get from Italians in this new battle against the judiciary might be a litmus test for his strength.
