AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi has been sentenced to seven years in prison and banned from public office for life after being found guilty of paying a teenager for sex at one of his notorious 'bunga bunga' parties.
Former Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi, 76, paid underage Moroccan teenager Karima El Mahroug, nicknamed Ruby the heart-stealer, for sex and then tried to cover it up with phone calls to police when she was arrested for alleged theft. Berlusconi and the woman had denied having had sex.
Prosecutors were seeking a six-year jail term for underage sex and abuse of power but three female judges at a Milan court today handed him a longer sentence of seven years.
