	Bettino Craxi - Wikipedia
		Nel 1989, Craxi torna alla carica, deciso a ritornare a Palazzo Chigi.
		Craxi confida apertamente in un logoramento democristiano e spera nella possibilità di portare il partito socialista al centro della scena politica, assumendo quel ruolo-guida, che fino a quel momento apparteneva alla Dc.
		Craxi, fiducioso che il crollo della Dc è immanente, organizza una massiccia campagna elettorale, puntando alla presidenza del Consiglio.

		Craxi became the focus of investigations into illegal financing of parties and politicians begun in 1992 by the Mani Pulite, or Operation Clean Hands, as the investigation led by a group of Milan prosecutors became known.
		While living in Tunisia, Craxi was tried, convicted and sentenced in absentia to almost 10 years for taking bribes of millions of dollars from businessmen in exchange for stakes in state companies or favourable bids in major projects.
		Craxi's family, principally his widow, son and daughter, had rejected an offer by the Italian government to hold a state funeral in Italy for the former prime minister.

	Bettino Craxi Summary
		Bettino Craxi was born February 24, 1934, in Milan, Italy, where his lawyer father, a Socialist politician, had migrated from his native Sicily.
		Bettino Craxi (born Benedetto Craxi in Milan, Italy on February 24, 1934, died in Hammamet, Tunisia on January 19, 2000) was an Italian politician, the Prime Minister of Italy from 1983 to 1987, and head of the Italian Socialist Party from 1976 to 1993.
		Craxi's lifestyle was perceived to be inappropriate for the secretary of a party with so many alleged financial problems: he lived in the Raphael, an expensive Hotel in Rome's centre (Piazza Navona), and had a large villa in Hammamet, Tunisia.

		Benedetto (Bettino) Craxi (Milan, February 24, 1934 – Hammamet, Tunisia, January 19, 2000) was an Italian politician, Prime Minister of Italy from 1983 to 1987 and head of the Italian Socialist Party from 1976 to 1993.
		Craxi had a firm grasp on a party previously troubled by factionalism, and tried to distance it from the communists bringing it closer to Christian Democrats and other parties; his objective was to create an Italian version of Socialist parties like the German SPD or the French Socialist Party.

	Bettino Craxi \| Obituaries \| Guardian Unlimited
		Bettino Craxi, who has died aged 65, was Italy's longest serving post-war prime minister (1983-87), filling the office with considerable aplomb and presiding over a period of strong economic growth; but he will be remembered as a tragic symbol of Italy's devastating corruption scandal and the man who effectively destroyed the Italian Socialist party (PSI).
		An effective communicator with a keen appreciation of the importance of the media, Craxi was able to convince middle-class voters that the PSI was the party most in tune with the new generation of thrusting entrepreneurs responsible for the "economic miracle" of the mid-1980s.
		Craxi was masterly in exploiting the PSI's pivotal role in a series of centrist coalitions, threatening to pull down the government unless his partners conceded ministerial posts and positions of command in the state sector.

	Bettino Craxi
		Nei giorni prima di morire Bettino Craxi aveva affidato al cognato Paolo Pillitteri il testo di un lungo documento dedicato alle vicende di tangentopoli.
		Craxi di quella lunga stagione e' stato l'emblema, pagando il prezzo piu' alto quando e' rovinosamente terminata.
		Craxi aiuto' in tutti i modi i socialisti costretti ad agire sotto regimi tirannici, e non solo finaniando socialisti che in Grecia, come in Spagna, in Portogallo o nel Cile lottavano contro la dittatura, ma anche cercando di far fare pace alle fazioni che immancabilmente si creavano in quei partiti.

	Craxi's corrupt legacy by Tom Gill (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Bettino Craxi, who died on 19 January in his self-imposed exile in Tunisia, will not be forgotten.
		Craxi’s career reached its peak in 1983-1987, when he reigned as the country’s first socialist leader and the longest serving Prime Minister in the post-war period.
		Craxi’s legacy is typified by Silvio Berlusconi, who benefited personally from Craxi’s media deregulation to consolidate his monopoly over Italy’s private television sector.

		Craxi's daughter, Stefania, who had long campaigned for her father to be honoured, told the daily Il Giornale she already had a nice piece of red marble that she hoped the council would use.
		Ms Craxi said she was happy that her father would be commemorated in his home town, "which he loved so much and which, regrettably, he died without being able to see again".
		Until the end of his life, in 2000, Bettino Craxi was free to return to Italy from his self-imposed exile in Tunisia.

	PSI@Everything2.com
		Starting in 1975 and under the leadership of Bettino Craxi, the party was to begin a line of direct opposition to the communists (until then regarded as political cousins: the socialists and communists extended the "comrade" denomination to each other).
		In the 1990s, Craxi's political fortunes began to decline and were precipitated by the so called Mani Pulite (Clean hands) investigation of 1992, a (politically motivated, according to some) probe in the corrupt financing practices of italian politics in the 80s, in which the PSI was disproportionally represented.
		Craxi fled the country to his refuge in Hammamet (Tunisia) where he died (January 20, 2000) still decrying his prosecution at the hands of his political foes.

	SILVIO BERLUSCONI : Media moghul/politician
		Berlusconi's friendship with the socialist Bettino Craxi, then prime minister of Italy (1983-87), and his ties to the socialist party (PSI) in general, helped to grease his empire building, at least by some accounts.
		Berlusconi was not shy about touting his relationship with the prime minister; Craxi's son was on the board of A.C. Milan, Bettino and wife Anna are godparents to two of Berlusconi's children.
		But perhaps Craxi's biggest contribution to Berlusconi's empire was his help in modifying and passing what has been called the Legge Mammi's law of 1990, which codified Finivest's (and the RAI's) share of the media market, and, in effect, created the Berlusconi/RAI duopoly.

		Craxi's party, I am told, cannot afford to stay six months out of government; it is too dependent on patronage.
		Craxi's scenario suffered a setback on June 9-10, when Italians were asked in a referendum to restrict the number of their "preferences" from four to one.
