Italian Prime Minister Sues Author Over Crime Book

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has sued the author of a book about crime in Italy. “Penguin, which published the book in English, has promoted it as an exploration of the dark underside of Italy today. The book looks at Mafia, organised crime and corruption in Italy, and it also looks at Silvio Berlusconi … the principal actor of the Italian political stage since the early 1990s,”
