Interview with Berlusconi by Alan Friedman

This big interview in the documentary My Way begins with a tour of Berlusconi at his villa in Arcore. An outrageously large house with an estate that has rooms for everything. He has eight rooms, he claims, only to house all the gifts he has received in his life.

character portrait

A charming and funny man. Who also finds himself funny and endearing. Who likes to speak for himself. And has its own version of the facts. He tells about his friends Putin and about the good relationship he had with Gaddafi. He firmly denies many allegations. Even though they were proven in court but were dismissed because the cases were time barred. Because as president he had shortened the statute of limitations for offenses. Berlusconi is now 80 years old and seems to be retired.

Successful entrepreneur

The interview talks about his growth as an entrepreneur. How he caused a furore as a real estate magnate with new homes in Milan. Then as an entrepreneur the world of state television changed by introducing commercial television with entertainment and entertainment. And eventually, as the owner of AC Milan, led the club to success.

Corruption and wrong money flows

Many of his Italian friends were convicted of corruption. A mobster worked in his villa. He knew nothing about it or it is not true. According to Silvio, it has been political processes to harm him. By jealous politicians. The fact that he financially supported the girls who came to him for special private parties is because they too had nowhere to work since they were known as 'bunga bunga' girls.
