ITALY - The trial of suspended Rubygate?

"Bedroom," quipped the leftist daily, while it opens on April 6 the trial of "Rubygate" in which Silvio Berlusconi is on trial for use in prostitution of a minor and abuse of office. On 5 March, the Chamber of Deputies has indeed passed a motion to lift the "conflict attribution. The text says the Milan court is not competent to judge the President of the Council and that only a panel of judges composed for the occasion is.

If the judges in Milan are following this motion, the trial could be postponed to the end of 2012. Silvio Berlusconi has had numerous brushes with the law since he entered politics in 1994 but has never been definitively convicted.
