But in an editorial, its editors argued that "the publication of the photographs of [Belusconi's] private parties is not an attempt to judge his morality as an ordinary citizen, rather it aims to show how, as Prime Minister, he is trying to turn the realm of democratic politics into a simple continuation of his friendships and entertainment." The paper noted that prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into the alleged use of the Prime Minister's official airplane to bring guests to private parties at Villa Certosa (allegations that Berlusconi has denied...
