Silvio Berlusconi Leaves €100 Million To His Girlfriend, 33, In His Will

Silvio Berlusconi, Italy's former prime minister who died last month, has left €100million to his girlfriend and €30million to an associate with mafia ties - in a will described as 'worthy of a soap opera'.

The billionaire, who was one of Italy's richest men when he died aged 86, also settled a dispute over which of his five children would take control of his business empire.

The bulk of the tycoon's portfolio of publishing, banking and TV interests - worth a staggering £5.8billion - has been left to his eldest two children.
