She called the allegations, revived by a convicted mob boss, baseless and said they were made without any scrutiny.

Marina Berlusconi has pushed back against claims made by a Mafia boss alleging that her grandfather helped set up a company with her father, former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, according to ANSA.
Berlusconi described the accusations as having been "relaunched" by what she called a "ferocious boss" without any cross-examination of the claims, suggesting the allegations lack scrutiny or substantiation.
Longstanding allegations
Claims linking the Berlusconi family's business dealings to organized crime figures have surfaced periodically over the years, though they have not been proven in court in connection with this specific claim.
ANSA's report did not identify the mafia boss by name or provide further detail on when or how the claims were made.
The Berlusconi family has previously and consistently denied any links to organized crime, and Marina Berlusconi's remarks reflect a continuation of that stance in response to the latest allegations.
