Lazio President Claudio Lotito and former Milan CEO Adriano Galliani have new roles, as they were both elected to the Italian Senate.

The elections were held throughout the country on Sunday and are pointing towards a hung parliament.

However, individual results for Senate seats have already crossed paths with the world of football.

Current Lazio President Lotito has won his election to the Senate for Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia centre-right party and will represent the Benevento constituency.

Former Milan CEO Galliani has also won his seat in the Senate for Forza Italia, representing the Lombardia 3 constituency.

There were several other sporting figures up for election, as Swimming Association President Paolo Barelli joined the Parliament along with judo Olympic medallist Felice Mariani and yachtsman Andrea Mura.

Potenza Calcio President Salvatore Caiato won his election comfortably, despite being expelled by the Movimento 5 Stelle party because of an investigation into money-laundering.

Former Milan CEO Adriano Galliani is cheering on Roma in the Champions League - “you can imagine how much I like Liverpool…”

The 73-year-old was Silvio Berlusconi’s right-hand man for 30 years with the Rossoneri, and is now a senator for Il Cavaliere’s Forza Italia party, representing the Lombardia 3 region.

“On May 2 I’ll be watching the match and I’ll be cheering for Roma, because those who win abroad win for everyone, even if we’re rivals in Italy,” Galliani told Dire Politico.

“You can imagine how much I like Liverpool after the [Champions League] final in Istanbul. I didn’t sleep for three months.

“We were winning 3-0 and lost the cup, it’s never happened to any team.”

Save AC Milan, once again

[Boban1982]

We're in this mess because of Silvio and Galliani.

2007 Milan win CL and Juve are in Serie B

2017 Milan have been destroyed and Juve are one of the tops team in Europe and own their own stadium.

Galliani "Italian teams cant compete with the big European teams" Juve showed they obviously can if you have a clever management team with ideas.

Milan were destroyed in 10 years by a lack of thought and care by Silvio and Galliani. We do not need them back and it is going to take some time to get back to even CL football let alone winning trophies.

Former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi will in November face charges for allegedly bribing witnesses in the notorious "Rubygate" scandal after being ordered to stand trial by a Rome judge on Wednesday.

Berlusconi is accused of paying 157,000 euros over the years to Neapolitan singer Mariano Apicella, who took part in many of the media mogul's infamous "bunga-bunga" parties and is himself on trial for false testimony.

The 81-year-old's court date is part of the "Ruby-ter" investigation, the third involving his parties and alleged underage prostitute Karima El-Mahroug, aka "Ruby the heart-stealer". The original trial, nicknamed "Rubygate" after El-Mahroug's nom de plume, saw Berlusconi beat an original seven-year prison sentence on appeal in 2014, a ruling that was upheld in Italy's highest court in March 2015.

A second trial, named "Ruby-bis", concerns two of Berlusconi's close allies -- former showgirl and Lombardy counciller Nicole Minetti and journalist Emilio Fede -- who allegedly supplied young prostitutes. Earlier this month Fede was sentenced on appeal to four years and seven months in prison and Minetti two years and ten months.

The Ruby-ter trial deals with alleged payments made by Berlusconi to people who attended the parties in exchange for their silence.

Prosecutors allege that Berlusconi spent ten million euros ($11.8 million) between 2011 and 2015, of which seven million euros went solely to El-Mahroug in the form of cash, gifts, cars, provision of housing, payment of bills and medical expenses.

Under Italian law, local courts take charge of investigations of bribes paid within the city boundaries, and as payments were made in various cities, the case is being handled in seven different courts, including Rome, Milan and Turin.

Berlusconi seems to have been rewarded for his act of self-sacrifice. Two days later, a Milan court announced out of the blue that it was lifting his five-year ban from public office imposed in 2013 along with a four-year prison sentence for tax evasion. He now looks like a mummy back from the dead, his face masked in make-up and his head caked with dyed transplanted hair. He had been unable to stand as a candidate in the election. Now he can.

So il Cavaliere (‘the Knight’, as his supporters call him) may just have to ride out one last time to save Italy — not from the commies anymore, but from the populists.
