Italian Prince Arrested

The son of Italy's last king, prince Victor Emmanuel, has been arrested as part of an investigation into corruption and prostitution. He was among thirteen people detained as part of a police enquiry into a casino in northern Italy. Victor Emmanuel has spent most of his life in exile, as our Rome correspondent Christian Fraser reports:

Prince Victor Emmanuel was arrested on Friday evening in the northern city of Lecco. He's suspected of having contact with the mafia and of helping procure prostitutes for clients of a casino in Campione d'Italia, an Italian enclave on Lake Lugano. The Prince's son, Emmanuel Filiberto, told Italian television he was shocked by the news but believed his father was innocent. They treated him like a bandit, he said. Among those arrested was Salvatore Sottile, a spokesman for former Foreign Minister Gianfranco Fini of the right wing National Alliance party. He's been put under house arrest while the investigation continues.

意大利王子被捕入狱

意大利最后一位国王的王子维克托·艾曼努尔因涉嫌贪污和组织卖淫而被捕。在警察对意大利北部一家赌场的调查中,警方拘留了包括王子在内的13人。艾曼努尔大部分时间都流亡在国外。以下是我们驻罗马记者克里斯汀·弗雷泽的报道:

维克托·艾曼努尔王子于周五晚在意大利北部城市拉科被逮捕。他涉嫌与黑手党勾结并招揽妓女。这些妓女将为一家赌场的赌客们服务。该赌场位于卢加诺湖沿岸的"飞地"坎平恩·德意大利市。艾曼努尔的儿子艾曼努尔·菲利贝托在意大利电视台表示他对该事件感到非常震惊,他相信他父亲是清白的。他说他们把他父亲当作强盗来对待。在那些同时被捕的人中有前外交部长及右翼国家联盟党领导人安弗兰科·费尼的发言人萨瓦托里·索蒂尔。他目前被软禁在家。此事件还在进一步的调查之中。
