Berlusconi spends too long at home, says former minister

(AGI) Rome, March 23 - Silvio Berlusconi was wounded by an unjust sentence and has become a shut-in, "comforted by a select few people", said former minister Claudio Scajola (of Berlusconi's same party). Asked by Sky's Maria Latella whether the Forza Italia party is suffering from the existence of the so-called 'inner circle', Scajola replied: "I know Maria Rosaria Rossi and Francesca Pascale [Berlusconi's girlfriend, ed.]. Rossi is very bright and is brilliant, but I only met Pascale while she handled Neapolitan politics. Right now, Berlusconi's suffering from an unjust sentence is prevalent".
