The premier's office on Wednesday
presented a petition to be a civil plaintiff in a trial against
ex-premier Silvio Berlusconi for allegedly paying several young
women to keep mum about the real nature of 'bunga bunga' sex
parties at his home in the so-called Ruby III case.
The trial opened on Wednesday but proceedings were quickly
adjourned to July 3.
In the first trial linked to the case, Berlusconi was cleared
of charges of paying a woman known as Ruby for sex while she was
a minor over lack of evidence that he knew she was under 18 at
the time.
