Italy scandal a labyrinth of intrigue
A governor is photographed trysting with a transsexual by policemen who are later arrested on extortion charges. There are two suspected murders and, oh yes, Premier Berlusconi figures as well.

Reporting from Rome — The governor made off to a monastery after having affairs with transsexuals, but not before the cops videotaped a tryst, all flesh and white powder, and offered to sell copies to a magazine owned by the prime minister, who, at the time, was rumored to be entangled with an underage Neapolitan model.

Then one of the transsexuals, a Brazilian named Brenda, turned up naked and dead, her laptop computer submerged under a running tap. Oh, yeah, and the drug dealer who supplied cocaine to the governor and Brenda would meet his own demise. It's an odd coincidence.
