Former Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi has been sentenced to 4 years in prison for tax evasion by a Milan court. The court also ruled that Berlusconi is forbidden from holding any government post for three years, ordering him to pay 10 million euro in damages. The former PM is expected to appeal the decision.
"The liklihood of Berlusconi actually spending time behind bars remains to be seen, as verdicts in Italy are only finalized after passing through two stages of appeal."
