|
|
|
|
## Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said that attempts to try him on
|
|

|
|
|
Italian prosecutors filed a request to bring Berlusconi to trial immediately
|
|
on charges of paying for sex with an underaged girl and improperly pressuring
|
|
police to release her from custody.
|
|
|
|
Their application, which means the prosecutors believe they have enough
|
|
evidence in the case to skip a preliminary hearing, will add to the pressure
|
|
on the 74-year-old premier, whose centre-right government is hanging on to
|
|
power.
|
|
|
|
Speaking at a news conference following a cabinet meeting Berlusconi told
|
|
reporters accusations against him were false but that he was not worried for
|
|
himself.
|
|
|
|
He said: "I have attained every goal and I am a rich man who can spend the
|
|
rest of his life building children's hospitals, which is what I have always
|
|
wanted to do."
