Italy: Newspaper group sues Berlusconi
The publisher of Italy's second largest-selling newspaper is suing Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. Mr Berlusconi described La Repubblica as "subversive", prompting L'Espresso media group to sue for defamation. L'Espresso also publishes a magazine of the same name, and both publications have led recent investigations into Mr Berlusconi's personal life. The group also said the PM had discouraged businesses from buying advertising space in its publications. According to a complaint lodged with a Milan court, the group's lawyers have also accused Mr Berlusconi of abuse of office and of flouting market rules. Mr Berlusconi's own media empire spans television, newspapers, advertising and film. He has not yet responded to the allegations. (BBC News)
