New truth about the sex scandals of Berlusconi

It seem only gossip. But there's more...
Italy is the only nation where a the Prime Minister involved in this type of scandals don't resigns.



Berlusconi is accused of child prostitution.
Italian law provides from 6 to 12 years in prison.
The evidence is overwhelming, unequivocal dozens of interceptions.
It 's a story quite complex and well explained here. Here you can read an automatic translation of the entire document.
In the next days I'll try to tranlsate and make a summary of article.


Recall also from the Vatican (Berlusconi often said to be a Catholic believer and practitioner).

The case Matteo Miotto



Matteo Miotto was an Italian soldier killed in Afghanistan 31 December 2010.

The first version released about his killing was about an attack of a sniper who was shot in the shoulder of the military, where it was not protected by his bulletproof vest.



This version lasted a few days.

Then there were denials:
Miotto was killed in a gunfight that lasted several minutes and in which several shots were fired.

The story is not very clear and the few witnesses do not issue statements.


Defense Minister Ignazio La Russa tries to justify the lack of clear evidence.
