Friday, 31 May, 2013. During the closing arguments of the Ruby case, prosecutors asked for 7-year sentences for any of the Silvio Berlusconi 's friends involved in bunga-bunga parties and related sex scandal, for different reasons, as they illustrated.
Nicole Minetti seems to say: “Sex for money? Me?
Are you serious?”
Nicole Minetti, former regional councillor, showgirl and model (and - according to her - former girlfriend of Silvio Berlusconi), apart for having fulfilled tasks of “intermediation” in the fixing of the bunga-bunga parties, had an active role by “performing sexual acts for money”, according to prosecutor Antonio Sangermano, while women-connoisseurs “associates” Dario Gabriele “Lele” Mora and Emilio Fede “tested – or tasted - the pleasantness of the girls, checked their social-relational skills and then led into the circuit of the evenings” at Berlusconi's villa in Arcore.
They all deserve a reclusion of 7 years, according to the Public Prosecutor.
Fri, 24 May, 2013. Testifying as a witness at the a trial were three individuals are charged for favouring prostitution, Moroccan stripper Karima El Mahroug (aka Ruby the Heartstealer says she was “talking crap” when she gave away details of spicy parties at Silvio Berlusconi's villa."
Me a prostitute? If not a saint, I might be a nun!
Ruby Rubacuori (Italian for Heartstealer) appeared on the trial (which is already a news, she sometimes forget about it...) where former TV presenter (and Berlusconi's friend, at least before he got dramatically fired by Mediaset, in 2012) Emilio Fede, celebrity agent Lele Mora and Nicole Minetti, a former Lombardy local councillor, model and showgirl are accused of supplying prostitutes to Mr Berlusconi's so-called "bunga-bunga" festive evenings in his villa in Arcore. Nicole said she had been hanging around just because she was the one and only girlefriend of the media millionaire.
Sun, 12 May, 2013. Silvio Berlusconi's Mediaset broadcaster Canale 5 airs a two-hour documentary to demonstrate prosecutors sex-related charges against the former prime minister are groundless (at least to the public opinion), as a last act of a counteroffensive against the Italian judiciary.
All but chaste
“The twenty years' war” is the title of a two-hour documentary, that was aired on Sunday, the day before the prosecutor's closing arguments would be declared at the Rubygate sex scandal trial (the request would be a 6-year sentence), where Silvio Berlusconi is accused of abuse of power and having paid the then-minor Karima El-Mahroug (aka Ruby Heartstealer, Ruby Rubacuori in Italian) for sex.
Silvio Berlusconi's stand is that the dinners where young girls and women were invited (some of them were just kept at hand in the bunga-bunga army) were pretty “normal soirées” and that his guests “kept their cloths on”. Nicole Minetti was not an organiser (was she his grilfriend at that time, as she declared?). Prosecution thinks he has been running a prostitution ring. So far they have been finding it difficult to reconcile the two different positions.
Friday, 3 May 2013. Silvio Berlusconi staunch admirer and People of Liberty party's member of Italian parliament gets stripped of equal opportunities ministerial role over 'homophobic' comments.
The blonde Michaela Biancofiore, is an entrepreneur in the wellness industry, a politician, and a staunch defender and admirer of Silvio Berlusconi.
She once said of the former prime minister: «He has the defect to love women, but at least he's not like [former Lazio region's chairman] Marrazzo going with transsexuals,» (which is another version of good old Berlusconi's quote “It's better to be passionate about beautiful girls than to be gay.”, you can see the video of the performance on our YouTube channel by clicking here).
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes? Silvio certainly does!
To make it clearer, in October 2012, the young Michaela (she will turn 43 in December 2013) commented at a press conference from Villa Gernetto in this way: «Yes, I listened to the presentation of Berlusconi ... a clarity like no other, once again he has proved to be the only a statesman [in Italy], has shown an ability that frankly leaves you breathless, speechless, at this time there are no other leader at its height [figuratively speaking], and I would like to emphasize that to the Italian people.»
The fair-haired politician also tried to convince the Italians that the media tycoon was the right man to become the the new President of the Republic – creating an ad hoc Internet site (berlusconialquirinale.org, Berlusconi to the Quirinal Hill, where the official residence of the Italian Head of State is). Nothing doing, slightly more than 1,000 people signed up, the now 87-year-old Giorgio Napolitano kept the job as Italian Head of State (left and right couldn't agree on a joint candidate).
