Silvio Berlusconi’s life in 17 photos Scottish sturgeon not suspended after arrest

Berlusconi – the entrepreneur

Berlusconi starts his career as a contractor. In Milan, he stamped out the settlement “Milano 2” – for 6,000 people. In 1972, Berlusconi created his first local television station, Milano 2, for this settlement. He is constantly expanding his media company – Mediaset – to become Italy’s top dog.

In 1978 he joined the Propaganda Due (P2) – a former Masonic Lodge. When an unofficial document containing members’ names was made public in the early 1980s, the scandal was huge.

Berlusconi – the politician

Bernasconi did not enter politics directly until 1993, when he founded the political movement Forza Italia. With Forza Italia he won the 1994 elections thanks to an expensive election campaign and constant propaganda on his television channels.

Berlusconi’s four terms as president were fraught with scandal. For example, in 2009 he celebrated Muammar al-Gaddafi, the self-proclaimed “revolutionary leader” of Libya, camping in a tent in Rome. Italy is paying $5 billion in reparations for its colonial rule in Libya. In return, Libya takes care of unwanted migrants and opens up its oil and gas fields.

At an advanced age, Berlusconi wants to know again: he will be re-elected to the Senate in the parliamentary elections of 2022. His face is now like a mask.

Berlusconi, owner of AC Milan

In 1986 he bought the football club AC Milan, which he owned until 2017. Sometimes he gives the trainer his instructions live on television.

The family man

Berlusconi has 5 children and 10 grandchildren. The two children from their first marriage are now owned by Mediaset.

Berlusconi and the women

In his first marriage, Berlusconi was married to Carla Elvira Lucia Dall’Oglio and then Veronica Lario.

Lario was followed by Francesca Pascale, a showgirl.

Marta Fascina was by his side during his last years. She is an MP for Forza Italia and was born in 1990, 54 years after her partner.

Bunga Bunga

No return to Berlusconi without Bunga Bunga. Things for the headlines.

The prostitute “Ruby Rubacuori” is – still a minor – at Berlusconi’s sex parties. As a belly dancer, she would have received 30,000 euros in cash from Silvio Berlusconi. Berlasconi confirms that he occasionally looks at beautiful women – that’s “better than being gay”. In 2011, the trial against Berlusconi will begin for abuse of office and dealing with underage prostitutes. It wouldn’t be his only run-in with the law. In 2012, he was convicted of tax fraud in the first instance. He was also investigated for corruption in 2013.

the last picture

Berlusconi was last seen by the public on 19. May this year when he was able to return home after weeks in hospital. The “Cavaliere” waved a smile to the cameras, but was visibly scarred by his battle with leukemia and pneumonia.
