Silvio Berlusconi was acquitted of
bribing witnesses to lie about his bunga bunga parties because
the young women who took part in the "elegant soirees" should
have been investigated and deposed at the time, the sitting
judge said after the verdict in the Ruby II trial Wednesday.
The young former guests of the Arcore evenings, heard in the two
trials on the Ruby case, "could not legitimately hold the public
office of witness", because they should have been investigated
at the time and heard as witnesses assisted by lawyers. Since
there are no longer any false testimonies, in essence, the
related charge of corruption in judicial acts also falls because
"the hypothetical corruptor, in this case Berlusconi" is
missing, said the president of the Court of Milan, Fabio Roia,
in a note in which he anticipated the heart of the motivations
of the acquittal verdict for everyone in the Ruby II trial,
which the judges will file in 90 days.
