Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has been hospitalized at San Raffaele Hospital in Milan, multiple sources told Reuters on Friday.

One of the sources reported that Berlusconi was hospitalized for medical examinations.

Berlusconi, 86, was discharged last month after six weeks of treatment for a lung infection linked to chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CML).

Berlusconi’s health has deteriorated significantly in recent years, with open-heart surgery in 2016 and multiple hospitalizations after contracting COVID-19 three years ago.

He served as Prime Minister in 1994–1995, 2001–2006 and 2008–2011, and although he has no direct role in government, his Forza Italia party is a member of Prime Minister Giorgia Maloney’s right-wing coalition.

His career has also been marked by scandals and legal problems, which in the last decade have been mainly related to his famous “Bunga Bunga” sex parties.

The octogenarian, whose partner Marta Fashina is 53 years his junior, caused another scandal in December 2022 when he promised his players before a match that he would bring a “bus full of whores” to the dressing room if they won.
