Reports: Berlusconi moves to block topless photos
ROME — Italian media say Premier Silvio Berlusconi has moved to block publication of hundreds of photos, including images of young women either topless or wearing bikinis at one of his Sardinian villas.
TV and newspaper reports say Berlusconi wrote recently to the Italian watchdog for privacy issues.
Saturday’s reports say some of the photos were taken during last New Year’s vacation. Among those at the villa was a woman the heart of an alleged scandal.
Berlusconi has denied anything “spicy” in his relationship with the 18-year-old. His wife, Veronica Lario, cited what she called her 72-year-old husband’s flirtations with young women when she announced this month she wanted a divorce.
The prime minister’s lawyer was not immediately available for comment.
