Terming Orsi's arrest as "pure masochism", Berlusconi said it will hurt the prospects of other Italians businesses. "No one will negotiate with Eni or Enel or Finmeccanica anymore... It's pure masochism," he said. Eni is Italian oil major, while Enel is a power producer there. "These are absurd moralisms," the former Italian premier said. He further added that, "If you want to make moralisms like that, you can't be an entrepreneur on a global scale." Meanwhile Orsi's lawyer Ennio Amodio termed the evidences against him as "inconsistent" and said his arrest is "unjustified".
