Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, 85, said he participated in TikTok to attract votes, and did not seek to identify young Italian women.

Berlusconi, who is known for throwing supermodel parties on TikTok, first appeared this month in an effort to attract young voters ahead of the Italian elections.

Berlusconi, in a video he showed last Tuesday, asked his 530,000 followers on social media to do their best in schools, and added, "Now I'm turning to 18-year-olds.

What I ask of you is not that you introduce me to your girls friends, not at all, but that I ask you to vote in the September 25 elections, and to give your votes to me.”

Berlusconi resigned as prime minister in 2011 amid revelations about his concerts for television stars as well as dancers to spend quality time with them.

The proceedings of his trial did not end, after he was accused of paying bribes to his guests to give false testimony to the court, in connection with the parties that Berlusconi described as “elegant evenings.”

In 2013, a court ruled that Berlusconi was guilty of paying dancer Karima El Mahroug, known as "Ruby the Heartstealer", for vice, but he was acquitted on the grounds that he did not know she was 17.

Now that his political ban has been temporarily lifted and he has been accused of tax evasion, Berlusconi is campaigning for a seat in parliament in an electoral alliance with front-runner Giorgia Meloni.

Berlusconi began his first post on Tik Tok, where he posted a video on September 1, in which he said: "Hello boys, I'm here." His next post included a joke about US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Berlusconi boasts that the first video he posted on "Tik Tok" achieved 9.2 million views.
