"Elegant dinners? We laugh, let's not joke." This is how Barbara Guerra and Alessandra Sorcinelli responded, two of the young women who took part in the Arcore evenings organized by Silvio Berlusconi, accused in the Ruby ter case together with the former premier, at the end of the new hearing in the trial underway in Milan.
In the previous trials for the Ruby affair, the girls who attended Villa Sammartino argued - in fact - that the parties organized by the leader of Forza Italia were just "elegant dinners". For the Prosecutor, however, their versions were sweetened, also by virtue of payments and gifts. Hence the accusations of perjury and corruption in judicial acts.
Speaking with the reporters, both Guerra, born in Como in 1978, and Sorcinelli, from Cagliari, born in 1974, stressed that the Forza Italia leader "ruined our lives" and said they were ready to speak during the exam in the classroom. in upcoming hearings.
"Berlusconi I no longer see him and I no longer hear him, I am no longer interested in his life", explained Alessandra Sorcinelli in particular. Adding: "He has always tried to solve only his interests and I have been involved in this story and now I'll think about my life and proving my innocence. "
The lawyer Luigi Liguori, who defends Sorcinelli, clarified that his client "will make the exam to prove her innocence, to clarify some circumstances" precisely in relation to the evenings and represent the "truth".
On the same wavelength Barbara Guerra: "I will speak in the courtroom, also because whoever is accused does not come and does not put his face on it, I agree with the Sicilian prosecutor, he is old but could have introduced himself".
Guerra also point the former prime minister on the possibility of his race for the Quirinale: "For me he must stay at home to be a grandfather."
"My life - he continued talking to the journalists - is blocked because of him and I will evaluate if there are more things to say, I am very resentful with him, very indignant, I cannot hear from an escort for years, he had to protect me, has ruined life ”.
Then he glosses it, always returning to the evenings organized by Berlusconi: “At the last dinner in Sardinia in which I attended I ran away in shame seeing those scenes”.
