Silvio Berlusconi, Prime Minister of Italy, 74 years of age will be tried for prostitution of minors and abuse of his state of power. If nothing impends it, the trial will be held on the 6th of April at 9:30 in the morning in Milan.
The charges against Berlusconi are many, of which the most striking one is the prostitution of Karima El Maghour, nicknamed “Ruby”, who was known to have visited Berlusconi’s house when she was under age. Another of the crimes the prime minister is said to have committed is that of exerting his power as prime minister over others in a threatening way when he had no right to command that certain group of people. This, happened in April last year when the prime minister ordered the national police around to do his bidding. Many people claim for his resignation in order to save the country from worldwide humiliation of having a prime minister that delves in prostitution of minors.
From my point of view, the trial should be held as soon as possible since the fact that Berlusconi could still be innocent lies in the air. Who knows what the future will bring to Berlusconi and Italy? I for one, will wait and watch.
