>> In January 2011, the story broke out about Berlusconi paying El Mahroug, a teenager at the time, for sex.

>> Around the same time, he made headlines for his famous bunga-bunga parties.

>> During a live television show in October 2009, Berlusconi called one of his ex-ministers ‘more beautiful than intelligent'. Thousands of offended women signed a petition stating ‘This man offends us. Stop him.'

>> Berlusconi's wife, Veronica Lario, split with him in February 2007, after he was caught flirting with former showgirl turned equal opportunities minister Mara Carfagna.
