ROME (Reuters) - Silvio Berlusconi's oldest daughter Marina denied speculation on Monday within her father's party that she could replace him as centre-right leader due to the billionaire former prime minister's legal difficulties.
Berlusconi, 77, is embroiled in a series of court cases, and the approach of a Senate vote on whether to expel the media magnate from parliament, possibly exposing him to the risk of arrest, has intensified talk in his party of Marina taking over.
