On this Thursday, the verdict was delivered, and Silvio Berlusconi received a four-year prison sentence, with three years granted amnesty upon appeal. The charges against him were related to tax evasion. In September, the judge responsible for enforcing the sentence will need to decide on the execution of the remaining year.
As the owner of the Italian club AC Milan, Berlusconi is likely to face either house arrest or placement in an institution to fulfill community service, preventing him from actively following his favorite club’s performance.
Considering his age of 76 years, Berlusconi may find some satisfaction in not facing imprisonment directly. It’s noteworthy that he had recently received a seven-year prison sentence in another legal case.
