'Berlusconi's wife seeks divorce'

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's wife wants to file for divorce, Italian media reported yesterday, just days after she publicly criticised his party's selection of young women to run in European elections.

"I have been forced to take this step, I don't want to add anything else," said Berlusconi's wife Veronica, 52, as saying, adding she had already contacted a lawyer.
