Italy's media tycoon and former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi was briefly sentenced to four years in prison for tax fraud connected to his Mediaset empire and banned from holding public office for five years by a Milan court.
But the court immediately cut the sentence to one year under an amnesty law approved by the then centre-left government in 2006 to reduce the overcrowding of Italian prisons.
Berlusconi, 76, is considered certain to stave off any imprisonment by appealing through higher courts. Friday's verdict came two days after he announced his retirement from politics.
He condemned the sentence as 'intolerable judicial harassment' and his lawyer branded the verdict as 'absolutely unbelievable'.
I don't care about foreigners and their news.
