Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is reportedly in intensive care after suffering heart problems.
was in a Milan hospital's intensive care ward Wednesday after suffering heart problems, European news agencies said, citing unnamed sources close to the 86-year-old former politician. Italy's ANSA news agency and French agency AFP both said he had been admitted to the San Raffaele Hospital in the northern Italian city, but they didn't say exactly when.
The former cruise ship singer reinvented himself as a real-estate tycoon and media mogul before entering Italian politics and becoming prime minister for the first of terms in 1994. He then dominated Italian politics and culture for two decades despite — or perhaps in part because of — seemingly endless gaffes.
Berlusconi has long painted himself as a victim of"political correctness," but his penchant for the seedier side of wealth and power, including the notorious"Bunga Bunga" sex parties he hosted at his mansions in Milan and Sardinia, and his financial dealings, eventually brought legal repercussions.
