Italian prosecutors today (May 13, 2013) called for a six-year jail sentence and a lifetime ban on holding public office for former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, charged with abuse of office and paying for sex with a minor, according to the World News website.
The 76-year-old billionaire media tycoon is accused of paying for sex with Karima El Mahroug -- better known by her stripper stage name "Ruby the Heartstealer" -- when she was under 18, during the now notorious "bunga bunga" parties at his villa at Arcore near Milan in 2010.
However, prosecutors argued the far more serious charge was that Berlusconi abused the powers of his office during a separate incident by arranging for her to be released from police custody where she was being held on theft charges.
They requested five years imprisonment for that and a year for paying for sex with a minor. The verdict is expected on June 24.
