Berlusconi Sentenced To One Year Jail Term. by soochukwu(m): 12:36pm On Mar 07, 2013
(Reuters) - An Italian court on Thursday sentenced former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi to a one-year jail term for making public the taped contents of a confidential phone call in a case related to a 2005 banking scandal.

The sentence, which was read in court by the judge, came as Berlusconi is facing two other trials for alleged tax fraud and paying for sex with an underage prostitute.

Prosecutors in the wiretap case had asked for a one-year jail term for the media tycoon.

Berlusconi, who has denied any wrongdoing, can seek to have the decision overturned before a court of appeal.

Under Italian law, he is not expected to serve any prison term until all possible appeal trials have been carried out.

The man is a mafian, he thrives on controversy.
Till I hear he is eventually in jail before I believe it.
I doubt if he will be jailed.

If it was in Nigeria, it will be two weeks. You see how the law applies to everyone there? If na here, 1milllion bribe will solve the case.

I doubt he's ever going to set foot in jail, how long has this case been dragged on for? If i re-call this case has been going on for over a year now if not more.

Na wash!
