Oh it’s such a good news day.
Over the previous few days Tony Blair has been giving his support to Tessa Jowell over allegations of fraud that her husband is being investigated for in Italy along with the italian Prime Minister (see previous post for details).
I think everyone but the PM believes Tessa Jowell when she says she was unaware of the 350,000 GBP ($600,000 dollars) payment her husband recieved from the Italian prime Minister. It’s such crap, of coarse she knew, she just did not have her name linked to it in case there was a problem…which there now is. Tell me this, if your partner recieved over half a million dallars..woulf you know about it?
Anyways, the prosecuters in Italy have asked a judge to call the Italian Prime Minister and David Mills (Tessa Jowells husband) to court to answer charges of fraud.. heres the latest article from Reutures:
MILAN (Reuters) – Milan prosecutors asked a judge on Friday to order Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and the husband of Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell to stand trial on corruption charges, judicial sources said.
The prosecutors have accused Berlusconi of paying tax lawyer David Mills, Jowell’s recently estranged husband, a kickback of $600,000 (345,000 pounds) for not revealing compromising details of the prime minister’s media empire when he testified in two court cases.
