She was originally a professional dentist and later the Regional Councillor for the PDL of Italy from 2010-2012 and her life in politics has been known for the famous Rubygate scandal where she allegedly arranged meetings for former president Silvio Belersconi with a 17 year old prostitute. She was handed a 5 year sentence for the crimes in 2012.
Her favorite politician was Silvio Berlusconi. The unfortunate fate in 2013 of Ms. Minetti is very different than her boss.
Three of Silvio Berlusconi's associates, (click here) including the Anglo-Italian showgirl-turned-politician Nicole Minetti, are facing jail after they were found guilty of procuring prostitutes for the former Italian prime minister's 'Bunga Bunga' parties.
Berlusconi's children play a big role in running his business empire: his daughter Barbara was vice-president of AC Milan
Few Italians have wielded (click here) more influence and attracted more notoriety than Silvio Berlusconi, four-time prime minister and billionaire businessman.
For years he successfully brushed off sex scandals and allegations of corruption.
But it was the effects of Italy's burgeoning eurozone debt crisis in 2011 that saw his influence temporarily wane as his coalition lost power.
Worse was to come for the man whom many Italians had come to see as untouchable.
He was convicted of tax fraud in 2013 and ejected from the Italian Senate. Because of his age, a four-year jail term became a year of community service at a care home near Milan.
Another conviction in 2015 and it looked like his political career was finally over.
But despite suffering a heart attack that his doctor said could have killed him in 2016, the charismatic showman was set for yet another political comeback....
Bunga, Bunga
...The phrase is legendary (click here) and refers to apparent sex parties which the former Prime Minister is said to have attended.
In fact he says in the book the phrase originally came from Colonel Gaddafi who told him a joke.
Berlusconi is quoted as saying: "A pair of Italian politicians are captured by a fierce...tribe and tied to poles.
"A tribal leader says to one of the Italians: 'You, do you want to die or bunga bunga?'"
The politician chooses the second option. But bunga-bunga turns out to mean forced intercourse.
"All the warriors in the village did him," said Berlusconi, the book says.
"The tribal leader then approaches the second Italian and asks the same question.
"The terrified Italian says: "I'd prefer to die." The tribesman replies: "Fine, you will die, but first let's do some bunga bunga!"...
