The cause of Italy’s latest political sh*tstorm

AC Milan owner and former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is having a tough time at the moment. His wife Veronica Lario is in the process of divorcing him, accusing him of being “a man who frequents minors”. The comment is thought to be a reference to Noemi Letizi, an aspiring model whose eighteenth birthday was attended by the old ladies’ man.

In an interview with Corriere del Mezzogiorno, Noemi addressed the 72-year-old as “daddy”, and admitted her joy at receiving a gold necklace from him as a birthday gift. And yes, we checked and it was definitely a “gold” necklace.
