kruijsA Milan court has sentenced Berlusconi to seven years in jail and banned him from public office after a salacious two-year trial known as Rubygate.
The court found the former leader paid for sex with nightclub dancer Karima El-Mahroug when she was underage.
He was also found to have abused his power of office when he intervened after she was arrested on allegations of theft.

Predictions
Background
The Italian prime minister's lawyers have submitted a list of 78 witnesses they intend to call at Berlusconi's trial which starts on 6 April, including Italian government ministers, the Italian news agency Ansa reported.
They have also called Karima El Mahroug, known as Ruby, the Moroccan runaway who was 17 when she allegedly attended sex parties held by Berlusconi.
Defence lawyers seeking to undermine Mahroug's credibility may question her about claims she made to investigators that Clooney was present at a dinner she attended at Berlusconi's mansion. Clooney's Italian girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis, has already told investigators that neither she nor Clooney attended a dinner at the mansion.
