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.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. He'll probably get a state funeral and an honorary grave in Milan Cathedral.

I see you're spamming this comment on every video about Mr Bunga Bunga.
0:10 is that Tony & Cherie Blair in the middle of the crowd grinning like idiots? Would you care to explain what they were doing?

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.

He had a good life. He stole billions of Dollars. Owned AC Milan. Did a mountain of high grade nose candy and got to make love to a huge amount of pretty ladies at his Bunga Bunga parties. I Wish I had his life.
1:47 - In context that record term of office was one month shy of 5 years or the normal single term of a British government, believe it or not kids 😮
He certainly left his mark - usually on the backs of chairs.
The human linguini is dead.

Finally 😅

I hope Satan is giving him a hard time with a pineapple
Silvio Berlusconi is very similar to the actor Ian McShane from the movie John WICK , and not only in face and age
You shouldn't talk ill about dead people. So, here's every good deed Berlusconi did: - - - ...
He was a plague for the democracy in Italy. Glad that he's gone. I'm going to celebrate that with Prosecco tonight :)

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....
No loss to the planet.

Not "a football club". It's AC Milan for god's sake. Under his leadership, team won five champions league, and reached many finals.
