Italian Premier ‘no saint’ in first comment on sex scandal

ITALIAN Premier Silvio Berlusconi joked that he is “no saint“, in his first comments on his sex scandal since a news weekly released what it said were conversations between him and a prostitute.

Berlusconi has been entangled in scandal for months over his alleged encounters with young women, but it took on new life this week when L’Espresso released the tapes of the purported conversations at the premier’s Rome residence in November.
