Secret Wiretap: Berlusconi Called Italy “Shitty Country”

A secret wiretap by Italian investigators caught Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi vowing to leave Italy, a “shitty country” that “sickened” him. Berlusconi was apparently frustrated over investigations he was being blackmailed over his sex life.

On the tape, Berlusconi said, ” I don’t give a fuck. I … In a few months, I’m getting out to mind my own fucking business, from somewhere else, and so I’m leaving this shitty country of which I’m sickened.” [Guardian]
