Berlusconi sues English newspaper Daily Mail

Italian head of government Silvio Berlusconi is apparently losing his nerve and is launching an international legal offensive to protect his privacy. After he reported two paparazzi this week who had photographed him in a bathrobe at his summer residence in Sardinia, the British newspaper Daily Mail has now also received a complaint from Berlusconi. On Wednesday, the paper had published harmless pictures of an emaciated Berlusconi in shorts and jogging shoes in the park of his villa. According to his lawyer Nicolo Ghedini, it was a question of principle - Berlusconi is a persecuted person whose privacy is always violated. The English always tried to teach the Italians a lesson, but were the first to disobey the rules.
For months now, the Italian head of government has been at the center of a series of scandals surrounding his private life. Among other things, it involves photos of parties in his villa, which were allegedly attended by prostitutes.
