Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has sparked a new macho controversy when he laughingly promised the players of his soccer team, AC Monza, a «bus of prostitutes» if they won against other big clubs in the league.
Berlusconi delivered a speech during the team’s Christmas dinner, where he boasted about his coach and revealed the «extra incentive» promised as a bonus to the players. «Now come Juventus, Milan, and if they beat one of these big clubs I will send a bus full of prostitutes to the dressing room,» he declared, according to a video reported by the newspaper ‘La Repubblica’.
The conservative leader, however, did not broadcast this excerpt of his speech on his own social networks, where he has exposed a more restrained part to give an account of the «special evening» lived together with his team after a year that he has described as «incredible», after the promotion to Serie A.
Berlusconi, 86, has been involved throughout his long political career in all kinds of sexist scandals, some of which have led to court cases, such as the parties he organized at his mansion in Milan.
