Mr Berlusconi is reborn like a phoenix from the ashes. In the glory – as one who has repented, suffered bravely and well-deserved punishment for a year taking care of patients with Alzheimer’s disease. And now, the Supreme Court cleared him of the charges using the toll underage prostitution and abuse of power.
Since the beginning of the proceedings the prosecution argued that the events at the residence of the former Prime Minister, bunga-bunga called, occurred to prostitution, including with the participation of the 17-year-old favorite of Berlusconi, Karima El-MAĦRUĠ, known as Ruby. Berlusconi’s main defender, prof. Franco Coppi, adopted a strategy of refraining from – that, yes, the event took place and that grown on them having sex, but with a small “but”.
Everyone in Italy, and beyond, they knew that Berlusconi likes to have fun and have a weakness for beautiful women. Given these facts, but also the expression of his wife Veronica Lario Berlusconi, it would be difficult to convince the court that at the bunga-bunga parties Read poetry. In 2009. Lario threw Silvio, explaining in the media that there will be more to put up with her husband flirting with younger women. Coppi argued, however, that it is impossible to prove that Berlusconi allegedly knew before 27 May 2010. That Karima El-MAĦRUĠ was a minor. He managed to impress the judges. I won.
The court also Berlusconi cleared of the charge of abuse of power. Coppi claimed that there is no evidence that Ruby – after he was caught stealing – wriggled out of the resort for minors only because that is the Prime Minister Berlusconi stood up for her (making up a story that the girl is President Mubarak’s granddaughter). But the facts are such that the young woman was released from custody and is at express pace. It took care of a councilor in Milan, which is also seen at parties at Berlusconi and who now sits in the dock for incitement to prostitution. Coincidence? Berlusconi’s defenders in this case also managed to convince the court to their arguments.
Berlusconi has already been convicted for various scams, but things fell or przedawniały before appellation , as the charge of bribing a lawyer David Mills, which consisted of false testimony in court in favor of the former Prime Minister. Succeeded only in 2013. Court of Cassation in Rome confirmed the sentence four years in prison, meted Berlusconi for tax fraud in his Mediaset. The judgment also forced Berlusconi to resign from the Senate and prevented him in 2014. Run in the elections to the European Parliament.
Fun Berlusconi, the Italian tax authorities cost the state nearly 7 million, but the court graciously treated the 77- the former Prime Minister of the summer. Due to the age of the court turned his imprisonment to community service at the resort Sacra Famiglia Fondazione where the former head of the government taking care of patients with Alzheimer’s disease. The work was social and lasted only a year, he worked in favor convicted of the 2006 amnesty., By which three years of imprisonment simply canceled.
Today, the Court of Milan still investigating allegations of alleged bribery of witnesses by Berlusconi bunga- events bunga, and the court of Naples political corruption. On the former Prime Minister of pregnancy also ban any candidate for public office. Yet for four years, until November 2019. Then Berlusconi will have 83 years.
Is it will be too old to engage in politics? It is difficult for a clear answer. For although two months ago as president of Italy gave 89-year-old Giorgio Napolitano, and Italy with his 40-year-old prime minister and getting younger politicians in 2019. Will surely be another country with a different political scene – it should not be ruled out that in the case of Berlusconi anything is possible.
In addition, the Act, which provides for the prohibition from running for public office, also takes into account the possibility of rehabilitation. If Berlusconi use of this possibility, it will not surprise anyone.
