Berlusconi appeals case to European court

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 08 September 2013 | 19.51

ITALY'S ex-prime minister Silvio Berlusconi has turned to Europe's human rights court in a bid to avoid a ban on holding public office and other punishment for his tax fraud conviction.

His top aide, Angelino Alfano, told reporters on Sunday the petition to the tribunal "shows that the Berlusconi case isn't closed".

A Senate panel on Monday starts formal discussing if Berlusconi must surrender his Senate seat.

A recent law says those sentenced to more than two years are ineligible for six years to hold public office.

Berlusconi's lawyers contend the law doesn't apply retroactively to him.

Last month, Italy's top criminal court upheld the conviction.

A law to reduce prison overcrowding shaves the four-year prison term to one year.

Because of his age, Berlusconi, 76, is eligible for house confinement.
