Berlusconi - media mogul, prime minister, sex trafficker, etc..

Silvio Berlusconi has a long and extensive CV which includes entries such as mafioso, prime minister of Italy, media mogul, president of AC Milan, singer/songwriter and, only recently, sex trafficker.

He was in fact mentioned in the Trafficking in Persons Report 2011 published by the U.S. Department of State for facilitating child prostitution, due to his involvement in the infamous Rubygate.

To be totally honest, Berlusconi is still under trial for underage prostitution, and therefore innocent until proven guilty, but his mention in the report is definitely a further embarrassment for the country. I believe that in every other democratic country he would have no choice but to resign, how in Italy he is still allowed to stay in power is beyond my understanding.
