from www.popfi.com – Silvio Berlusconi is Italy’s version of Eliot Spitzer, except much more powerful. The controversial Italian prime minister just can’t stay out of trouble when it comes to either his public appearances or his taste in women. Silvio Berlusconi is accused of abusing his power in an attempt to get an underage teenage stripper named Ruby Rubacuori [pictured] freed from jail. The probe also may contain allegations that the 74-year-old Berlusconi also paid the Moroccan teenager, born Karima el-Mahroug, for sex, or at least had underage sex with her.

Of course, right now it’s all allegations and hearsay, but where there’s smoke, there’s hookers and prime ministers. Berlusconi, when he called the police station to get the girl freed during a theft investigation, told them that the girl was a relative of Egypian President Hosni Mubarak, which I’m sure he’d appreciate very much. He’s also facing three other pending court cases/investigations into various accusations of fraud and bribery related to his business dealings as the king of Italian media.
