Prosecutor says 'military apparatus' protected Ruby (see related) (ANSA) - Milan, May 13 - A Milan prosecutor charged at a trial hearing on Monday that ex-premier Silvio Berlusconi kept what was akin to a "military apparatus" to protect the underage Moroccan runaway he is accused of having paid for sex.

"There was a battery (of guards) - almost a military apparatus to protect her," said Ilda Boccasini in her indictment of the 76-year-old centre-right leader and media magnate.

Turning to the judges, Boccasini continued, "Can we believe these laughable statements that all of this was done to protect a poor girl?"
