Silvio Berlusconi will attend the hearings of all trial

Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian prime minister, intends to participate in all trial hearings in Milan, including tax evasion, corruption and prostitution of a minor witness, said on Saturday in Milan, one of his lawyers. The chairman of the board "considers it appropriate to come on the ground in person to defend themselves," said lawyer Niccolo Ghedini said, adding that his hand, "there is any availability for these trials to take place quickly." After a suspension of nearly a year due to a law immunity that protected him but was partially offset by the Constitutional Court, the trial resumed since February 26 against Mr.

Berlusconi. But it has been many years that the head of the government does more to hearings and be represented by his lawyers. Berlusconi is charged in particular for tax evasion and false results (Case Mediaset), corruption control (Mills) and especially child prostitution and abuse of power ("Rubygate).

He is also accused of embezzlement in connection with purchase of TV rights (Mediatrade). But Saturday in Milan, the preliminary hearing that was to decide its possible referral to court for this case was postponed to March 28.
