I was initially reassured by the Guardian headline: "Mills linked to mafia go-between". I had thought he was linked to Berlusconi but if it is only the mafia....
However reading the article he seems to have been linked to both Berlusconi *and* the mafia through a Mr Dell'Utri, which is a little disconcerting. "Mr Dell'Utri was convicted in 2004 and given nine years. He is appealing against conviction, and is not in prison. Central to the prosecution case was that he mobilised the mafia vote for Mr Berlusconi in 1994, before he became premier."
Can we expect a lot of this kind of thing in the next election? We'll make you a manifesto you can't refuse?
