The trial of Italy’s Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi that will determine whether he is guilty of abuse of power and minor prostitution will start in Milan on April 6.
The judge in the case, Cristina Di Censo today granted the request for a fast-track trial filed by prosecutors last Wednesday as she determined evidence of proof existed that the alleged crimes were committed.
She also determined the Milan court had the authority to try a prime minister. The 74-year-old Prime Minister has consistently denied any wrongdoing in the case.
