He claimed that the “absolutely disgusting” contents of the recordings had the potential to compromise unnamed individuals at the heart of the Italian Government, but said that they had since been destroyed.
Writing on his blog, Mr Guzzanti said that the reason he withdrew his long-term support for Mr Berlusconi was because of his “whoring attitude of contempt towards women”. He called the 72-year-old tycoon “un gran porco” (a real pig) “who has corrupted Italian femininity, opening unthinkable careers to pretty girls who have learnt only how important it is to give it to the right person at the right time”.
The website was not working yesterday afternoon, but his comments were reproduced by the left-of-centre weekly newspaper L’Espresso, and its sister publication, the daily newspaper La Repubblica.
