For once it did not happen in
India. Berlo is guilty of paying for sex with a pretty-looking minor. Italy’s
ex-Prime Minister got seven-years in jail and is barred from public office but
free during appeals process. The verdict
brings to a climax a two-year-old trial which sparked a media frenzy
amid allegations of strippers dressed as nuns and erotic party games with
topless girls during his term in power.
Italy’s ex-PM Berlusconi has had
sex in exchange for money on several occasions in 2010 with a then 17-year-old sexy
and attractive girl known as ‘Ruby the Heart Stealer’ at the raunchy ‘bunga
bunga’ parties at his Milan mansion, which was very much in the news those
days.
Ruby whose real name is Karima El
Mahrouq, moved with her family from Morocco to Sicily in 2003. She ran away
from home at 14; was spotted by one of Berlo’s cronies at a beauty contest and
was invited to entertain him. She was arrested in May 2010 for stealing a bracelet.
Berlo claimed she is the niece of then, Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak and
asked police to release her to keep under wraps his liaison with the underage
girl. Later he said, he had no idea that Ruby was not Mubarak’s niece. He says
it was part of a series of lies that Ruby had told him, including her age. A
lot of flip flop statements were made as a cover-up, which did not cut ice with
the court.
Ruby told the court that she
attended Berlo’s parties with naked girls. Later she changed her version,
insisting that the majority of the things she said were not true, including how
much money she got from Berlo. She admitted to lying about having sex for money
with Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo. Now she’s married to a night club
manager and has a cute baby girl, away from the limelight.
The recent verdict closes a two-year
trial that has distracted Italy with its accounts of ‘bunga bunga’ parties at
the billionaire’s private villa outside Milan while he was Prime Minister in
2010.
Berlusconi always denied the
wrong doing and says he is being prosecuted by the left wing party. He says the
purported sex parties were just elegant dinner where female guests performed
‘burlesque’ shows. El Mahrouq denied having sex with Berlusconi.
Berlusconi’s age also means he is
unlikely to ever see the inside of the prison cell because of lenient
sentencing guidelines in Italy for people over the age of 70 years.
