Italian media initially reported the settlement amounted to 100,000 euro a day. But Berlusconi said the figure, with arrears, was double that. He said, "These are three women judges, feminists and communists, OK? These are the Milan judges who have persecuted me since 1994."
Lario filed for divorce in 2009, citing Berlusconi's fondness for younger women. The billionaire media mogul is currently on trial, accused of paying for sex with an underage Moroccan girl and using his office to cover it up.u00a0
