Former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi was accused of paying 24 people, mostly young guests at his so-called Bunga Bunga parties, to provide false testimony in an underage prostitution case
An Italian court on Wednesday acquitted Silvio Berlusconi over allegations of bribing witnesses in an underage prostitution case that has dogged the former prime minister for more than a decade.
“I can only express our utmost satisfaction for this unequivocal acquittal,” said Berlusconi’s lawyer Federico Cecconi. The scandal over the evening parties contributed to Berlusconi’s downfall as prime minister in 2011, marking the end of his fourth government.
