Prosecutors in the 'Ruby#3' trial on
bribing witnesses to lie about Silvio Berluscioni's bunga bunga
parties on Wednesday requested a jail term of six years for the
three-tiime former premier and media mogul and a five-year term
for Karima El Mahroug aka Ruby Heartstealer.
They also asked a Milan court to seize five million euros from
the Moroccan-Italian former teen runaway and exotic dancer, whom
Berlusconi paid for sex when she was a minor but committed no
crime because he didn't know she was just 17.
There were 28 other conviction requests Wednesday including one
year and four months for former centre-right Forza Italia (FI)
Senator and Berlusconi factotum Maria Rosaria Rossi, two years
for Berlusconi magazine journalist Carlo Rossella, and up to
five years for 20 young women who attended what the ex-premier
called "elegant soirées" - all for perjury.
