Berlusconi Blocks Release of Topless Photos

Silvio Berlusconi can rest easy: Racy photos allegedly showing young, bikini-clad and topless women frolicking at his villa will be sealed, BBC reports. The Italian prime minister said the 700 images, furtively snapped by a photographer on the island of Sardinia, violated his guests’ privacy. Meanwhile pressure is mounting on Berlusconi to explain his relationship with 18-year-old model Noemi Letizia.
