Wow! Thank you for "
Italy: Who is Manuevering Ransom for Hostages?" What we didn't know about this...! I recommend that everyone have a look at that very important background information (with links to evidence).
But on Berlusconi, there is one thing we need to follow-up. We'll find out whether it's a dead end or takes us further.

"According the John Gibson (FoxNews):
'...The Washington Times is reporting Monday that the $6 million ransom was not Italian government money, but personal funds of the media mogul Silvio Berlusconi who just happens to be the prime minister.'"
