MILAN, Italy, May 6 (UPI) -- An Italian court Monday denied former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's request to relocate prostitution and tax evasion trials due to judicial bias.
Berlusconi, 76, is accused of paying a 17-year-old Moroccan prostitute to have sex with him during what prosecutors have described as a rapacious days-long sex party. In Italy, women must be 18 to engage in prostitution.
