While Italy’s prime minister Silvio Berlusconi is facing trial for paying for sex with an underage girl, youth prostitution is still tolerated in Switzerland.
The 74-year-old Italian premier was ordered on Tuesday to stand trial on charges he paid a 17-year-old girl for sex and for misuse of influence. The trial is scheduled for April 6.
The indictment alleges Berlusconi paid for sex with the Moroccan girl, nicknamed Ruby, then used his influence to get her out of police custody when she was detained in connection with an unrelated theft.
Prosecutors say Berlusconi called police on the night of May 27, 2010, because he feared his relationship with the teen would be revealed. More...
