I would be amazed if he actually sees any jail time. Appeal time incoming!

Indeed, he contributed to ruin my country and he deserves to rot in prison..

The guy is a legend. I can only wish that when I get to 70 I'll be nailing 17 year old prostitutes and committing fraud.

BBC says '...he may escape prison because of lenient sentencing rules for people over the age of 70.'

He's a gangster much like Putin. I fully expect the only thing to come out of this is a picture of Berlusconi with the words '7 years?' at the top and the lonely island lyrics 'Doesn't matter had sex' at the bottom.

Yeah but 100 years of appeals now come, which may end up in an innocent verdict at some point.

The man has amassed enough of a fortune to completely tie up the legal system - literally until he dies. My father came to Canada from Italy - and he likened Berlusconi to a slightly better looking, more polite and less vacillating Mussolini.

This is what, the third time he has been convicted by a lover level court? Until(if) there is a final verdict, he will continue to poison Italian political scene. And given how long appeals take and how many of them are allowed, well I think he will die before he is convicted of anything.

There are already several laws with the single purpose of keeping Berlusconi out of prison.

Like Putin and other corrupt leaders Berlusconi is no stranger to legislate laws for personal gain
Ops people over 70 years can skip spending time in jail, how convenient that such a new law came into place..But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

Did it also come in law just when it looked grim for your country's leader to get jail time? Originally Posted by Khorine
