ITALY-POLITICS-CRIME-BERLUSCONI-FILES

(FILES) – A file picture taken on February 1, 2012 at the Italian parliament in Rome shows Italy’s former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi who has been sentenced to a year in prison on March 7, 2013, over the publication of leaked transcripts from a police wiretap in a newspaper that he owns. Berlusconi, who faces two more verdicts this month for tax fraud and having sex with an underage prostitute, can appeal the conviction which would suspend the sentence under Italian law.
