The David Mills – Berlusconi investigation
A link has been made between Renault chief Flavio Briatore and an investigation into an allegedly corrupt tax lawyer.
David Mills, who is married to British cabinet minister Tessa Jowell, is being investigated by prosecutors who say he accepted a bribe from Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.

The link with Briatore is that some of the funds channelled to Mills were sent through a company set up by the lawyer, but owned by him.

"I was obviously a bit annoyed at this," Briatore - a client of David Mills - is quoted as saying in the British Guardian newspaper.

But Mills told the `paper that the company`s directors - including Briatore - `knew precisely` about the workings of the company.
