AC Milan Owner Silvio Berlusconi Sentenced To One Year In Prison

AC Milan owner and former Italian prime minister was on Thursday sentenced to a year in prison by an Italian court on Thursday over the publication of leaked transcripts from a police wiretap in a newspaper owned by him.

Berlusconi, who faces two more verdicts this month for tax fraud and having s*x with an underage prostitute, can appeal the conviction which would suspend the sentence under Italian law.

Italian sentencing guidelines indicate that people aged over 75 and with sentences of less than two years do not have to actually go to prison. Berlusconi is 76.
