"The judge’s ruling ordering a trial came weeks after prosecutors said they were investigating the prime minister on charges that he paid Ms. Mahroug for sex before she turned 18 and abused his office in calling the police to intervene when she was detained in May for theft.
Mr. Berlusconi has said he called the police to avoid “an international diplomatic incident” because he had been told that the Moroccan-born Ms. Mahroug was the niece of Hosni Mubarak, then the president of Egypt."

"Western leaders want a “more democratic system without ruptures with a president like Mubarak that all the Western hemisphere, including the U.S., had considered the wisest man and a reference point in all of the Middle East,” Berlusconi said on arriving at a meeting of European Union leaders in Brussels today."
