Drno, there you go again.
What did I tell you about keeping to your own business there in Italia?
Silvio Berlusconi & Organized Crime
"It was only a question of time before [Italian Prime
Minister Silvio Berlusconi] was placed under criminal investigation. The charges against him involved Fininvest executives bribing tax officials on his behalf and, presumably, on his orders, and he received word of the investigation in what was considered one of the coups de theatre of Manu Pulite [the national campaign against organized crime]. He was notified publicly, on November 22, 1994, in the middle of a United Nations summit he was hosting, in Naples, on the subject of organized crime."[Though his government fell, and Berlusconi was ousted on December 22nd, he was elected again in 2001, whereupon he proceeded to use his powers as Prime Minister to change Italian law to render him immune from prosecution on dozens of charges of bribery and fraud.]
