Times London:
A key coalition partner in Silvio Berlusconi's Government said yesterday he believed that the Mafia had orchestrated the sex scandal engulfing the Prime Minister as retribution for Italy's hard line on organised crime.

Since he began talking to the FBI in 2007, law enforcement sources say Alite has fingered more than a dozen men in blue for crimes ranging from bookmaking to murder.

I'm waiting for the headline that says "The 12 Monkeys did it!"
Berlusconi IS the mafia.
http://en.
yes he is . . . what a joke . . .
The scandal is not Berlusconi's sex life.
The scandal is that Berlusconi is in office.
Clowns are clowns.
What excuse does the Italian electorate have? None.
who knows . . . I went to italy once and that was more than enough . . the italians can keep it . . . there are nicer places to visit
I'm glad to hear you haven't been forced to suffer by staying here.
I've been living and working in Italy for the past four years.
Works for me. I often find myself thinking that most Italians don't deserve Italy.
But I feel that way about many Americans and the United States, too.
The amusement to be had from the possibility lasts almost as long as it takes to read the headline.
Berlusconi did it. Is his buddy saying the the boss is Mafia?
Berlusconi's in bed with elements of the Mafia, so I wouldn't be surprised if some rival family was trying to gain retribution. That being said, every time I see this man I lose a little faith in the people of Italy.
i am too old for viagra.. yes
Berlusconi would truly love this to be accepted as factual, but alias, he has only himself to blame.
This is totally conceivable, specially because D'Alemma let it slip he knew this was coming, months before any of it was even public.
So, not only is the mafia involved, but I would venture further and say the mafia with the "encouragement" of the political left. The mafia has no party loyalty, they're like prosti.tut
Unfortunately, the PM was an easy prey because of his "weakness" for sex, and if the tapes really exist, he's got no one to blame but himself for falling right in the trap.
Who says the Mafia never did any good?
This is all very amusing. As if the problems did not originate in Burlusconis' libido. This is a varient of "The Devil Made Me Do It."
Only in this case I suppose it was the Mafia filming it that has Berlusconi in a pickle.
Although: Wouldn't this be far more valuable for the Mafia as blackmail?
I thought Berlusconi and the Maffia were one and the same. Are you telling me they aren't?
Professor Dr. Stanley Collymore.
Are we supposed to believe one of the wealthiest people in Italy is not "connected"?
That's incredibly funny in a dark sort of way.
Of course the mafia is involved if Berlusconi is involved.
Duh?
So the pictures of him with naked young women and old politicians were done under pressure. Give me a break the Mafia is a simple machine like a shark--they shoot first--and seldom worry about intricacie
what kind of mafia?
look at the names
wait, in a couple of days they'll call for the aliens' plot...
he doesn't need Mafia or enemies, the scandal has been fueled by his own lies and by his friends and girlfriends' declarations
