(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 22 - Ex-premier and Forza Italia (FI)
leader Silvio Berlusconi has been acquitted of judicial
corruption by a Siena court in the so-called Ruby ter trial.
The 85-year-old media billionaire was accused of bribing
witnesses to lie about his alleged "bunga bunga" sex parties at
his home and say they were innocent affairs.
Berlusconi's lawyer said he spoke to the ex-premier after the
verdict was announced and described him as "relieved and
satisfied".
The case was one of several stemming from allegations Berlusconi
paid for sex with teen Moroccan runaway exotic dancer nicknamed
Ruby the Heartstealer when she was under 18.
Berlusconi was also cleared in the original case as judges ruled
he
could not have known she was a minor. (ANSA).
