The Guardian reported in English about the incident:



Berlusconi vows to leave 's**tty' Italy in conversation recorded by police

In a sign of his frustration at the investigations into his alleged crimes and misdemeanours, Silvio Berlusconi vowed in July to leave Italy, which he described as a "s**tty country" that "sickened" him.

Wow, it's impossible to post the correct link to the article on The Guardian, because the autocorrecting system replaces the letters in the URL by ***** !!!

Well, if you want to see the article in The Guardian, replace the four **** by s, h, i , and the last one I let you guess...
