The scandals surrounding the sexual activities of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi have now reached the shores of Panama. Valter Lavitola, a former consultant to Finmeccanica, the Italian company to which Panama awarded a $333.3 million dollar direct (without bidding) contract for the purchase of helicopters and other security equipment, is on the run for alleged extortion against Berlusconi and is believed to be hiding in Panama. Lavitola is being investigated for alleged involvement with businessman Gianpaolo Tarantini and his wife, Angela Devenuto- in demanding more than $1 million from Berlusconi in return for not disclosing that the Prime Minister knew that private parties set up for him, involved prostitutes. The Italian authorities have intercepted calls made to Berlusconi by Lavitola from a cell phone in Panama.
