Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi blackmailed?

http://nma.tv Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi's hedonistic "bunga bunga" parties have become things of legend. Businessman Giampaolo Tarantini has admitted supplying escorts, one who claims she was hired to have sex with the PM. Tarantini claimed Berlusconi didn't know some of the women were prostitutes. Meanwhile, Berlusconi played dumb. Tarantini and his wife have now been arrested. They allegedly asked Berlusconi for money in exchange for lying about how much he knew. Berlusconi has admitted paying Taratini, but says it was a donation as he was down on his luck.
