             Berlusconi Sentenced for Publishing Wiretap Transcript

   by VOA News

   An Italian court has sentenced former Italian prime minister and media
   mogul Silvio Berlusconi to one year in prison for publishing the leaked
   transcripts of a police wiretap.
   A court handed down the sentence on Thursday. Berlusconi can appeal the
   verdict if he chooses, which would suspend the sentence.
   The decision involves the publication of a wiretapped call that was
   part of an investigation of an attempted bank takeover.
   He faces two more verdicts this month, for charges of tax fraud and sex
   with an underage prostitute.
