Berlusconi demands apology from wife

ITALIAN prime minister Silvio Berlusconi demanded an apology yesterday from his wife for her public complaints over his roving eye and said their stormy marriage was heading for divorce.

“Veronica must apologise publicly,” 72-year-old Berlusconi told Corriere della Sera newspaper as he went on the offensive in the couple’s public row.

“And I don’t know if that will be enough,” he said, after press reports that Veronica Lario now wants a divorce from the billionaire media baron.
