Silvio Berlusconi was an Italian media tycoon, politician, and billionaire who served as Prime Minister of Italy in four governments from 1994 to 1995, 2001 to 2006, and 2008 to 2011.
Why the ? He was Italy's version of Trump. From last February:
MILAN (AP) — Italian former Premier Silvio Berlusconi was found not guilty Wednesday of witness tampering in a trial related to the sexually charged "bunga bunga" parties he held at his villa near Milan while in office.
The six-year-old trial is the third and likely final one in a scandal that made headlines worldwide in 2010 when Berlusconi — as a sitting premier — faced charges of having paid for sex with an underage girl. He was eventually acquitted.
In the third trial, Berlusconi faced charges of paying off witnesses to lie in earlier attempts. Prosecutors had sought a six-year prison sentence for him, along with 10 million euros ($10.7 million) in damages. A further 28 people, including the woman at the center of the scandal, Karima el-Mahroug, were also all found not guilty on Wednesday.
