Berlusconi's wife complains about smear campaign in Italian press
The current wife of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has complained about a «smear» campaign in the press. For weeks, she has quietly endured the «brutal smearing» of her character, her dignity, and her marital history, she writes in a statement to the newspaper Corriere della Sera.
The still-wife of Italian head of government Silvio Berlusconi has complained about a "smear" campaign in the press. For weeks, she said, she had endured in silence the fact that her person, her dignity and her marital history had been "brutally smeared".
According to SDA, Veronica Lario wrote this in a statement for the newspaper Corriere della Sera. Neither the "truth about the relationship" with her husband nor the reasons why she communicated with him via the press were touched upon, according to the statement, which the newspaper printed on the front page on Thursday. She had always loved Berlusconi and focused her life on her marriage and her family, the 52-year-old wrote, alluding to accusations in the conservative press that she was having an extramarital affair.
Lario recently announced that she wanted to file for divorce due to her 72-year-old husband's persistent weakness for young women. The focus is on the unclear relationship between the head of government and an 18-year-old girl. Berlusconi responded with a counter-attack in the media.
