Berlusconi's children withdraw financial aid and apartments from the "Bunga Bunga" girls

 Silvio Berlusconi's children, heirs to the estate of the former Italian president who died in June, will withdraw the monthly financial aid that the magnate had granted to the 20 young women who participated in his parties, known as "Bunga Bunga " , in their mansion in Árcore (near Milan), in addition to evicting them from the apartments in which they reside free of charge.


A real estate agency commissioned by the businessman's heirs sent a letter to girls who frequented the famous dinners in Árcore in which it announced the " termination due to death" of the contract for free use of the apartments on Olgettina Street, in Segrate (Milan), where several of the girls who attended these parties live, the newspaper "Corriere della Sera" publishes yesterday.

In addition to having to return the apartments before December 31, the "Olgettinas", as they were baptized by the Italian press for living in that area, have also been canceled the monthly allowance of 2,500 euros granted by Berlusconi with which "he intended compensate them for the damage to their image suffered by the investigations into the processes" for their possible relationship with the Moroccan minor Karima El Mahrough, who called herself " Ruby Rubacuori".

It was Berlusconi himself who admitted in 2013 in one of the hearings of the proceedings in which he was tried for the alleged bribery of witnesses in the Ruby case that he had granted 2,500 euros a month to each of them for dinners and the "Bunga Bunga" parties. ".

Berlusconi's lawyers told him that the payments could be interpreted by prosecutors as a way to buy testimonies - which in reality happened later in the trials - and in December 2013 the former prime minister paid each of them compensation. of 25,000 euros.

However, the Milanese newspaper adds, "they were not satisfied and put pressure on him again" until the payments were resumed and the homes were maintained.

During one of the Ruby case proceedings, prosecutors Tiziana Siciliano and Luca Gaglio had calculated that since March 2012 Berlusconi had paid almost 11 million euros to the girls.

Now the family has suspended all payments and has already evicted some of them from the apartments , says "Corriere della Sera".
