The disgraced former Italian Prime Minister was yesterday convicted of tax fraud and sentenced to 4 years in prison, later reduced to 1 year.
Media reports say Mr Berlusconi will appeal the sentence, saying he is a victim of “intolerable judicial harassment”, from the left leaning judges in Milan.
Berlusconi left office last year admit the growing sexual scandal around his infamous bunga bunga parties, where it is alleged he had sex with an underage prostitute. The trial in this case continues.
The 76 year old media model, received a suspended sentence in 1996 over false book-keeping, that conviction was later reversed on appeal.
Some had tipped Berlusconi to return to political office.
Berlusconi is a very powerful media mogul in Italy and is among the most wealthy people in the country. I have no doubt he has owned parts of the mafia for years now which helped him get into a position of prime minister in the first place.
This guy had the famous Banga Banga sex parties while he was head of state. Media reports claim that they were essentially sex parties.
