PREVITI ALL AROUND THE WORLD

Ecco come è stato trattata la condanna a Cesarone e la seguente levata di scudi di mister B, il premier che sta sempre dalla parte dei condannati. Ovviamente son tutti comunisti.

CNN - ROME, Italy (Reuters) -- Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi came under pressure on Wednesday after a friend and political ally was convicted of corruption, but the Italian leader was expected to survive the latest challenge to his hold on power.

BBC - Berlusconi blasts court for jailing ally. Previti insists he is innocent Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has lashed out at judges who jailed a close associate for corruption. Cesare Previti, Mr Berlusconi's former personal lawyer, was imprisoned for 11 years late on Tuesday. Previti, a member of parliament, was found guilty of using bribery to try to influence two takeover battles - one of which favoured Mr Berlusconi's Fininvest holding company. Mr Berlusconi was originally charged in the same case - dating back to a 1991 struggle for control of the Mondadori publishing company - but was acquitted under Italy's statute of limitations in 2000. Cesare Previti, defence minister in Berlusconi's 1994 government, his former personal lawyer and a parliamentarian in his Forza Italia party, was sentenced to 11 years in prison late on Tuesday for bribing judges in two corporate takeover battles.

REUTERS - Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, his corruption trial nearing its end, is pressing parliament to reinstate political immunity in the hope of ending a threat to his power and averting a constitutional crisis. The prime minister is on trial for allegedly bribing judges in a corporate takeover battle in the 1980s. Earlier this week his friend and political ally Cesare Previti was convicted of graft in a similar case, piling pressure on Berlusconi.

TIME - Berlusconi rage. Rome: Silvio Berlusconi, Italy’s Prime Minister, described the sentencing of Cesare Previti, a close ally, to 11 years in jail for corruption as persecution and said that it was further proof of his long-held view that the country’s magistrates are “red” and biased against him and his associates.

EL PAIS - Berlusconi promete "resolver el problema de unos jueces politizados" tras la condena de su amigo Previti.

DUE MORTI DUE MISURE

Qualche settimana fa si è spento Alberto Sordi. La notizia è uscita al mattino e già al pomeriggio televisione pubbliche e private stravolgevano i loro palinsesti per trasmettere qualsiasi pellicola sull'Albertone nazionale. Qualche ora fa è passato a miglior vita Ciccio Ingrassia, uno che - a modo suo - ha segnato la storia del cinema italiano. Usciamo allo scoperto: ora tutti a storcere il naso per le gag di Ciccio e Franco ma chi non ha riso da piccolo quando li vedeva per la prima volta in tv? Sono stati un simbolo dell'Italietta in trasformazione che come tutti i Paesi snob abbiamo troppo presto rinnegato. Morale della favola: non una televisione ha ancora mandato in onda un film della coppia, forse temendo il verdetto dell'Auditel. E' proprio Italietta questa....
