BULGARIA/ ITALY: "Bunga-Bunga" Berlusconi Accused Of Flying 40-Person Entourage To Venice Film Fest With Italy's Funds.

GUARDIAN/ Ben Child /
   More controversy for Italy's embattled Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, whom  "The Economist" magazine lately is calling "Burlesqueconi."
      Media reports say that Berlusconi, 74, is being investigated for spending €400,000 in state funds to fly a "personal friend," Bulgarian actress and director Michelle Bonev, 39,  to the Venice film festival, along with a 40-person entourage, to receive a fabricated award.
    It is also alleged that Berlusconi demanded that  Bonev's movie "Goodbye Mama" be shown in Venice and that she receive 'some kind of prize.'
