Brazilian Iris Berardi, one of the young women who attended Silvio Berlusconi’s promotion nights, came frequently to the former Italian prime minister’s home as a child, according to Milan’s deputy prosecutor, Tiziana Siciliano.
At another hearing in one of the lawsuits filed against Berlusconi for corruption in the judicial system, Siciliano said he felt “incredible pity” for the Brazilian (18) this Wednesday.
Referring to the Italian-Moroccan model Karima el Mahroug, the prosecutor added, “It is a proven fact that Berardi often came to Silvio Berlusconi’s house at a young age. She was a girl comparable to Ruby but as irrepressible as a teenager can be.” The center of the sex scandal that shook the image of the former prime minister is known as “Ruby”.
According to Siciliano, Berlusconi did not trust Berardi or Ruby and adopted a strategy of “avoidance” with them. “And Berardi obeyed,” he said.
The former prime minister is a defendant in the Milan Court in a judicial corruption case accused of bribing call girls who attend nights at his estates to lie to justice.
The process is known as “Ruby ter”, and there are also fragmentations in other Italian provinces such as Rome, Turin, Pescara, Treviso, Monza and Siena – in the latter, the former prime minister was acquitted for the first time last October. year..
“Sex slaves” – In his presentation, the deputy prosecutor of Milan said that the prime minister of that time “systematically portrayed condominium groups at night at home, like a “sultan” with sex slaves for payment.
According to the Public Prosecutor’s Office, “Our time looks with disgust at this appalling violence against women, against people who have little opportunity to defend themselves”.
“Something medieval and morally questionable was being consumed,” Siciliano added.
In addition, the prosecutor noted that the Public Ministry had found “obvious evidence of corruption”, including data, photographs, screenshots and messages exchanged between the girls by witnesses on Berlusconi’s behalf.
By contrast, Federico Cecconi, one of the former prime minister’s lawyers, said that “attribution of nicknames risks turning into bad taste”. “I don’t like this form of debauching discussion. I want to maintain a more noble level, but I can’t help but share these terms,” he said.
The defense claims that Berlusconi transferred only to help the girls, not to manipulate them. “When it’s our turn, we’ll show that every donation has a legitimate reason,” Cecconi said.
Iris Berardi was caught in a wiretap saying she missed her “dad’s” pocket money. However, in July 2016, the Italian Senate, in a secret ballot, banned the Office of the Prosecutor from using wiretapping as evidence in “Ruby ter”.
