As reported by Africa Top Sports, the judges confirmed on Thursday the sentences proposed against AC Milan’s president, Silvio Berlusconi. The former Italian Prime Minister, who faced charges of tax evasion, has been sentenced to four years in prison, with three years granted amnesty on appeal.
In response to the court decision, Berlusconi, who chose prison over community service, expressed his dissatisfaction, stating, “This conviction is devoid of any basis and will deprive me of my freedom and my political rights. We must continue to fight, to play politics, to achieve all the necessary reforms, first and foremost that of justice.” Berlusconi’s reaction suggests a strong stance against the court’s decision and a commitment to continue political engagement despite the legal challenges.
