"Milan judges cleared the former Prime Minister of all charges in the Rubygate case, in which he was accused of paying for sex with an underage prostitute and abusing his office to conceal the crime. "

Yeaaazzz! Silvio is cleared of these charges. He just serves the 9 months for tax fraud now. Money talks people. Let's stop pretending billionaires are like the rest of us. Only Persia seems to really go after these guys.

"even the mogul’s legal team was taken aback by the decision. “The verdict goes beyond our rosiest predictions,” said Franco Coppi, one of the defence lawyers."

I laughed at that. Not even his lawyers expected Silvio to be cleared of the charges after so much evidence.
Well, good thing Silvio is cleared of the underage charges. I'm pretty sure he didn't know how old the woman was. Which also sets a very dangerous precedent so that perverts can now claim "She was fifteen? Damn! I would SWEAR she was 19!" or something.

I hope Silvio returns back to politics soon enough. Local Greek news agencies said he is scheduled to have dinner with Alfano over joining forces again.

And for celebration ... Silvio banged Ruby some more!

Doubt it, didnt he claimed he couldnt get it up anymore? Or was he lying to the Justice?

[Condottiere 40K]

My precious.

[Flavius Julius Nepos Augustus]

Right in time to grab power and annex Libia (and probably the Italian whould fail )

Jokes aside: That Ruby affair, ok
he had to be punished for corruption and other charges

[alhoon]

I think he has more trials scheduled for the various corruption scandals.
And yet, he polls quite well.

[Mary The Quene]

Berlusconi Strikes again!

[Condottiere 40K]

I thought he deliberately shortened the statute of limitations in order to escape socialist persecution?

Clearly the man is really a Jedi... [waves hand] ...

I thought the major issue was that he lied to authorities to get her out of jail rather than the accusation he paid an underage girl for sex.

He didn't just lie to authorities. He did a lot more power abuse. He even changed the freaking laws.

It was, a reform in 2012 made that difficult to prosecute successufully; the rules changed with the game still on.

Can't find a source in english, basically the highest court of appeal in Italy predicted this could happen two years ago.

[Col. Tartleton]

She was old enough to give consent and prostitution is legal, but she wasn't old enough to prostitute.

Italy needs to reform its laws.

[Basil II the B.S]

Lol, the judges hope that by clearing him of this he won't pursue justice for being ousted by France and Germany and replaced by Monti,a much welcome servant. Evidence of that would be enough to impeach the President, a good number of leftwing politicians and probably wipe out the Euro. We'll see.

She is so hot.

She is so hot.

Bit too pregnant for me.

It's very hard to respect Italy these days.

[Maiar93]

Rather, very hard to respect their political elite. Italians are nice folk. The mafia is still quite strong in Italy, for example they control the city waste system in Naples.

[Condottiere 40K]

Worse, they also provide hazardous waste disposal services.

Berlusconi is actually famous in Italy. I'm sorry but in terms of pathetic personality, he is at about the same level of Bush Junior, albeit for different reasons. And that little sex with a young woman is really not the biggest issue by far. It's quite a non-issue in fact.

Worse, they also provide hazardous waste disposal services.

They also cover up lacking hygiene in the food industry, to the detriment of Italians and foreigners alike - because let's be frank, who doesn't love Italian food, usually made with Italian exports?
