The Italian newspaper Il Giornale , owned by the brother of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi , had previously reported that Boffo was allegedly homosexual and threatened the wife of a homosexual friend in 2004. The Avvenire newspaper had previously criticized the lifestyle of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in connection with his sex affairs and also denounced Italy's tightened refugee policy.
