Speeding fines in Italy, again, and Pisa…

It’s official, the article in the Telegraph I read while I was in the UK would seem to indicate that Euro traffic fines will shortly be with us. The same article is available on-line here.  Although this change comes into effect in March 2007, as some who have read this blog will have noticed, the UK DVLA has already been giving out the addresses of offenders to the Italian authorities so they can send victims a nice little fine.

Silvio Berlusconi

Ruby, Bunga Bunga, Berlusconi and Gifts

Very shortly it looks as if Italy’s prime minister Silvio Berlusconi is going to receive a summons to appear in court on charges of having paid for illegal sex with a minor.

That minor Ruby, who was 17 at the time and thus below the age of consent for prostitutes, which is 18 in Italy, is denying having had sex with Berlusconi.
