Italian Prince Arrested

The son of Italy's last king, prince Victor Emmanuel, has been arrested as part of an investigation² into corruption³ and prostitution. He was among thirteen people detained as part of a police enquiry into a casino in northern Italy. Victor Emmanuel has spent most of his life in exile, as our Rome correspondent Christian⁴ Fraser reports:

Prince Victor Emmanuel was arrested on Friday evening in the northern city of Lecco. He's suspected of having contact with the mafia and of helping⁵ procure prostitutes for clients of a casino in Campione d'Italia, an Italian enclave on Lake Lugano. The Prince's son, Emmanuel Filiberto, told Italian television he was shocked by the news but believed his father was innocent. They treated him like a bandit, he said. Among those arrested was Salvatore Sottile, a spokesman for former Foreign Minister Gianfranco Fini of the right wing National Alliance party. He's been put under house arrest while the investigation continues.

维克托·艾曼努尔王子于周五晚在意大利北部城市拉科被逮捕。他涉嫌与黑手党勾结并招揽妓女。这些妓女将为一家赌场的赌客们服务。该赌场位于卢加诺湖沿岸的"飞地"坎平恩·德意大利市。艾曼努尔的儿子艾曼努尔·菲利贝托在意大利电视台表示他对该事件感到非常震惊，他相信他父亲是清白的。他说他们把他父亲当作强盗来对待。在那些同时被捕的人中有前外交部长及右翼国家联盟党领导人安弗兰科·费尼的发言人萨瓦托里·索蒂尔。他目前被软禁在家。此事件还在进一步的调查之中。
