An Italian prosecutor wants to sentence Italy's Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi to eight years in jail for corruption. He is accused of bribing
judges among other things. Berlusconi claims he's innocent (Of course he does. He is Italian ).
From: BBC: Judges urged to jail Berlusconi
A prosecutor has urged a court in the Italian city of Milan to sentence Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi to eight years in jail for alleged corruption.
The trial was suspended in June last year after parliament passed a law granting the prime minister immunity, but this was later thrown out by the Constitutional Court and the trial resumed in April.
Mr Berlusconi was not in court on Friday, but he has vigorously protested his innocence.
"This is a manifest judicial persecution, which I am proud to resist, and the fact that my resistance and sacrifice will give the Italians a more fair and efficient judicial system makes me even more proud".
Berlusconi tries to ridicule the persecution and make it appear like a circus. He is well known for doing stuff like this, and he has many times made people angry with his unusual statesments.

From: BBC: Berlusconi cleared of corruption
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has been cleared of corruption charges.
Mr Berlusconi had been accused of bribing judges in the 1980s to favour his business interests.
He was acquitted on one count, and on the other judges in Milan ruled that the alleged offence happened too long ago for charges to be pressed.
