Berlusconi declares himself "Superman"

London, Sept 3 (ANI): Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has declared himself a "Superman".

While praising his achievements in office and replying back to his critics and estranged wife, Veronica Lario, the 72-year-old said: "I'm not ill.

"You only have to look at what I've achieved over the last 15 months in government to see that not only am I not in poor health, I'm Superman."

In May, Lario had announced that she wanted a divorce from the premier after accusing him of being "not well" and obsessed with young women, reports The Telegraph.

She was apparently furious over his attendance at the 18th birthday party of an aspiring lingerie model, Noemi Letizia.

Later an escort, Patrizia D'Addario, claimed that she and another prostitute had sexual intercourse with the prime minister at his official residence in Rome following a private party. (ANI)
