A “sexual” Oval Office in Italy too?

We’ve had a massive soccer scandal which is still unresolved. That’s not enough though as Italy’s now being also hit by a “royal” scandal. It involves Prince Vittorio Emanuele of the Savoy family. He, his wife and son had broken Italians’ balls to want to return to their “so-called” beloved Italy (they had been prevented from doing so after that Vittorio Emanuele’s father had been forced into exile some 60 years ago). The good’ol Prince has had his phone under surveillance and is currently involved in prostitution matters and some money laundering at a casino in Switzerland, just over the border with Italy. That’s not the only hot news. The other is that Gianfranco Fini’s personal assistant (the former Italian Foreign Affairs’ Minister and the current president of the National Alliance party) has been charged with asking sexual favours from an aspiring tv starlet. Apparently, sex between the two (she for career purposes at RAI, the state-run tv network in Italy) took place at the Foreign Affairs’ Ministry. Today’s papers also talk about sex having taken place at Palazzo Chigi, the seat of the Italian government. So much for Clinton, Lewinsky and the Oval Office!
