is off to famous ski resort Cortina d' Ampezzo, Italy, for the Christmas holidays. He looks for Soraya, but finds Princess Ira Von Fuerstenberg. She's 19, the daughter of Prince Tassilo Fuerstenberg and Clara Agnelli and married to 43-year-old Spanish-born Prince Alfonso von und zu Hohenlohe-Langenburg.
60 travels with Ira to Florence, Italy. When her husband, Hohenlohe, learns about Ira’s infidelity, a custody battle starts.
8 August 60 before dawn, 22 Mexican policemen break into his Mexico City hotel suite, seeking him on adultery charges filed by Hohenlohe. Hohenlohe, is suing his wife, Ira, for a divorce and custody of their two sons, Cristobal, 4, and Alfonso, 16 months. "Baby" is found in trousers and shirt, but the Princess doesn't appear. He and the six-man guard that he hired to protect Ira and her sons put up a fight. "Baby" is 45; she's 20.
9 August 60 is released from jail for lack of proof of adultery with Ira. Drawn and red-eyed after 36 hours behind bars, he says of Ira's estranged husband: "I do not even wish to mention that guy's name; it simply makes me sick. I may not have a title, but at least I have honor." "Baby" describes himself as an old friend of the princess' family - she is in fact an old friend of his mother's - and says he is in Mexico to watch out for her financial interests. The princess claims the prince is after the fortune their sons may inherit from her family, which has a substantial interest in Italy's vast Fiat motor industry.
1 October 60 he and Ira are free on bail pending trial on charges of adultery brought by her husband in Mexico City. Both post a $2,400 bond to escape going to jail until the case comes to court and deny the adultery charges.
