Spatuzza has already told magistrates, in evidence reported by the media and confirmed by court sources, that Italy's Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and Marcello Dell'Utri, a Berlusconi associate, were mentioned to him in connection with a series of bombings in 1993 by a Mafia boss who is now doing life for the Florence attack. The 73-year-old conservative prime minister and media mogul says biased courts are making false accusations to try to bring down the 19-month-old government -- his third since 1994 -- and attack his Mediaset broadcasting empire.
