ITALIAN prime minister Silvio Berlusconi is close to reaching an agreement on the terms of his eventual divorce from his wife Veronica Lario after a weekend court hearing, Italian media reported.

Berlusconi in  divorce deal

Berlusconi, Lario and their lawyers held a five-hour hearing with Milan judge Gloria Servetti, primarily on the financial aspects of ending their 19-year marriage.

“They are on their way to an agreement,” Italian media quoted one of the meeting’s participants as saying.

Lario, 53, filed for divorce a year ago after revelations that the media tycoon had attended the 18th birthday party of an aspiring model who called him “Daddy”.

In addition to the villa near Milan where she resides, Lario also reportedly wanted monthly alimony of €3.5 million, a figure Berlusconi’s lawyers rejected as “exorbitant” and who offered less than a tenth of that amount.
