Silvio Berlusconi, 76 year-old AC Milan President has been sentenced to seven years in prison after he was found guilty of corruption and sex with underage prostitute. He has been banned from taking up political office pending an appeal.
Berlusconi was accused of paying for sex with Moroccan girl, Karima El Mahroug in 2010, when she was 17, as well as attempting to force her release from the police custody over a charge of petty theft.
He has been banned from politics for life and issued a seven-year punishment. However, it could be months or even years before he serves any punishment, with Berlusconi entitled to appeal the verdict twice before it becomes final.
