Berlusconi sentence reduced to 12 months The former Italian Prime Minister was imprisoned for four years on Friday, but has seen that punishment cut as a result of a legal loophole Oct 26, 2012 5:33:00 PM More On : Milan 0 Comments 0 Awesome 0 Dislike Silvio Berlusconi - Milan (Getty Images) Getty Images AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has had his jail sentence reduced to just 12 months, thanks to the application of a 2006 Amnesty Law aimed at reducing overcrowding in prisons. The 76-year-old was originally handed a four-year jail sentence and €10 million fine on Friday, for his part in a tax fraud scandal. Don't Miss Gandini dismisses Berlusconi exit rumours Berlusconi: I have total faith in Galliani Berlusconi: No more shopping sprees Berlusconi claims Ibra & T. Silva are sold Berlusconi, along with 10 others, was on trial after it was alleged that the defendants were involved in a scheme to purchase American movies for his company, Mediaset, through an offshore firm and had failed to properly declare payments so as to avoid taxes. It was also claimed that Berlusconi had re-licensed the films, and pocketed the difference, making the Milan supremo some €250m. The Italian has been involved in a number of legal procedures to do with his business ventures, but has either been cleared, or the cases have been dropped due to time constraints. Berlusconi, who was not in court on Friday to hear the verdict, served as Prime Minister of Italy between 1994 and 1995, 2001 and 2006, and 2008 and 2011, but recently announced that he would not be running for a fourth term. www.goal.com NAWA OOOOOOO i suspect something fish here o. does it mean richmen and politicians are accorded fair hearing and sentence everywhere in the world |

He has the best lawyers who knows their job too well. He is going for an appeal and may get the sentence overturned. |
