U.S. Politcal Sex Scandals Are So Minor Compared To Europe's . . . . .
In Italy, A Sex Scandal to Rival Berlusconi's
"Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's party-guy private life has dominated Italy's public discourse for more than six months. But his alleged dalliances with prostitutes and underage girls is getting some competition from another scandal unfolding in Rome. This one involves a TV-host-turned-governor who was forced to admit to a long history of frequenting transsexual prostitutes. This week, that scandal received the tangential frisson of murder.
Piero Marrazzo was forced to step down as governor of Rome's region, Lazio, on Oct. 27 after an alleged blackmail scheme set off the spiral of embarrassing revelations about his private life. Prosecutors have now opened homicide investigations into the deaths of two people linked to Marrazzo, who was first elected in 2005 after years as host of a popular consumer watchdog talk show on the RAI national TV network. Investigators say Marrazzo is not a suspect in the Nov. 20 arson that killed a Brazilian transgender prostitute known as Brenda, nor the September death of a Rome-based drug dealer named Gianguerino Cafasso that has now been ruled a homicide. But he has connections to both people. Cafasso had reportedly produced an incriminating video that showed Marrazzo indulging in both drugs and the transsexual prostitutes. And investigators says Brenda was one of the prostitutes at the center of the sex scandal."
