When Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi stands trial on charges he paid an underage girl for sex, he’ll be judged by a female panel.
Giulia Turri, Orsola De Cristoforo and Carmen D’Elia were named today as the judges who will preside over the April 6 trial in Milan. Turri, for one, is no stranger to tough cases. In 2009, she granted a dismissal of a tax-evasion probe involving Google Inc. managers. Last July, she ordered house arrests as part of a high-profile investigation into cocaine use and trafficking at Milan night clubs.
