Italy Prosecutors Clear Contested Presidential Pardon After Probe
Prosecutors found no wrongdoing after reviewing the clemency request, saying Minetti’s child has serious medical needs and the adoption was legally recognized.
- On Wednesday, Italian prosecutors cleared the presidential pardon granted to Nicole Minetti, concluding that fresh checks found no basis to overturn the clemency decision regarding her case.
- Minetti was sentenced in 2019 to two years and 10 months for procuring sex workers for Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's "bunga bunga" parties, later receiving a 13-month sentence for misuse of public funds.
- Authorities verified the adoption of her child in Uruguay was lawful and confirmed the child requires ongoing treatment at Boston Children Hospital, dismissing allegations of drug-fuelled parties.
- President Sergio Mattarella requested the review in April after Fatto Quotidiano raised concerns; opposition politicians called for Justice Minister Carlo Nordio to resign over the case.
- Prosecutors stated, "Facts reported in press articles... do not correspond to the truth and no elements have emerged that conflict with the evidence already gathered," effectively closing the inquiry.
