AC Milan vice president Paolo Berlusconi has landed the Italian Serie A giant in hot water after making a racist remark days after the unveiling of new signing Mario Balotelli.
A video clip posted on Italian media websites shows Berlusconi, the brother of club president and former Italy prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, making the comment while flanked by a group of male companions.
"And now let's go and watch the little black boy of the family, the crazy head," the vice president says in the video posted on Tuttosport and other Italian news websites, including La Repubblica and Corriere TV.
"All the young ladies are invited as well - you can even have a chance to meet the president," Berlusconi added, directing the comment off-camera and raising a few chuckles from onlookers.
Media said Berlusconi made the comment on Sunday at the end of a political meeting in Varedo, near Milan.
Balotelli, who moved from Manchester City last week, made his debut for Milan on Sunday and scored both goals in their 2-1 home victory over Udinese.
Internet users expressed disgust at Berlusconi's comment in online chatrooms.
"The idiot ... family, to say the least," wrote one user on a discussion board on Tuttosport's website.
