Silvio Berlusconi: Former Italian Prime Minister dies aged 86

The former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi has died at the age of 86.
The billionaire media mogul-turned-politician had been suffering from a lung infection connected to leukemia.
During four terms as prime minister, Mr Berlusconi - a right-wing populist - survived numerous scandals, including revelations of sex-fueled parties and allegations of corruption. More recently, his Forza Italia party went into coalition with Italy's current far-right government.

    You just did. The Blairs are as partial to a free Italian holiday as Alexander de Pfeffel Johnson, they’re just not into the Bunga, Bunga element like he is. Its likely reported as “Tony Blair engaged in high-level negotiations in Florence to use Italian airbases to bomb Libya & Serbia”. As if NATO Air Marshals are unable to do that 9-5.

    But we want to forget the poisoning of Imane Fadil, the fact that even Borsellino was investigating him for being the instigator of numerous massacres. We know of his involvement with the Italian mafia, Falcone and Borsellino are turning over in their graves because he died without all the truths coming out. Shameful that he managed to prevent the judge from proceeding in the bunga bunga process by letting the judge know that the girl in question was 'Mubarak's daughter'. He has only discounted social services, despite all the crimes he has committed, including tax evasion and budgetary fraud. Abroad too few things are known about this character it is thought that the most serious crime he has committed is the bunga bunga party with 17 year olds.. Nothing is reported about his involvement with the Italian mafia in none of the news channels, aljazeera only mentions It in the last words of Friedman, but nothing more.. Falcone and Borsellino died, and before Borsellino was killed he was investigating about Berlusconi....
