Bunga Bunga Avoids Jail

Silvio Berlusconi is given a three-year sentence after being found guilty of corruption charges for bribing a senator

Italy’s former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi was found guilty today of bribing a senator to switch factions in a move which helped topple the government of 2008.

The court in southern Italy sentenced Berlusconi to three years in jail and banned him from holding any public office for five years, a judge said in a ruling shown live on television.
