Rome, Feb 15 (Prensa Latina) A Milan court acquitted former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and 28 other people charged with corruption after a six-year trial, a judicial report stated on Wednesday.

According to the report issued by Corriere della Sera and other national media this Wednesday, the judges considered that the facts from which the accusations were formulated did not exist.

The case was baptized as Ruby Ter, about Moroccan dancer Karima El Mahroug, known as Ruby the Heartbreaker.

According to information revealed by the press, the politician had sexual relations in those celebrations when El Mahroug was a minor.

The scandal surrounding these elegant dinners, as the former prime minister called them, led to a trial for crimes of abuse of power and incitement to child prostitution.

The former head of Government was sentenced to seven years and disqualified. He was finally acquitted by the Italian Supreme Court in 2015.
