The husband of prominent Forza
Italia (FI) politician Alessandra Mussolini on Thursday
plea-bargained a one-year jail term for using an underage
prostitute.
Mauro Floriani was also fined 1,800 euros for being a
client of two teen prostitutes working out of an apartment in
the upscale Parioli neighborhood.
Floriani's sentence was suspended, as is routine for all
custodial terms of two years or less.
Wiretaps last year revealed Floriani was one of the clients
who contacted the girls most often.
Floriani, a former finance police officer, is a manager at
State-controlled national rail company Trenitalia.
He has three children with his wife, who is the
granddaughter of Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini and has
recently served as chair of a parliamentary children's rights
committee.
Eight ringleaders of the teen bordello have already been
convicted.
These include barman and pimp Mirko Ieni, who was sentenced
to 10 years behind bars.
Army Corporal Major Nunzio Pizzacalla got seven years and
the mother of one of the teens was sentenced to six years and
loss of parental rights.
Eleven clients have so far plea-bargained a year in prison,
while 30 others have been probed.
