GUILTY

A couple of days ago, the Corte di Cassazione (third grade tribunal) declared that Mr, Mills, a British lawyer, who had been condemned for passive corruption, did not have to be prosecuted because of time limits. But they did recognize the fact that corruption had taken place and condemned Mr Mills to pay about 200,000 $ fine to the Italian government.

He could not be legally prosecuted because of a law, passed by Berlusconi’s government, that reduced the terms of prosecution of corruption from 15 to 10 years.

In other words, Mr. Mills could not be prosecuted because the law on corruption is unenforceable du to time limit.

This is quite different from acquittal which is a judgement of not guilty. Of course.

But the main TV public channel, Rai 1, stated twice, during his main news broadcast, that Mr. Mills had been acquitted (they could not explain however how someone acquitted had to pay 200,000$ of fine).

Is the public channel full of ignorant people who ignore the meaning of words ? possibly. But more likely, they just tried to do a cover up.

Why ? because the corruptor is Berlusconi and the Director of Rai 1, a certain Minzolini, is a slave of the former.

In any other democracy, the Prime Minister, or even a Minister of Member of Parliament, would have resigned. Not in Italy, of course. It is well known that Berlusconi is victimized by Taliban like judges (his statement of 26 February 2010). But GUILTY he remains
