Berlusconi to begin community service for tax fraud

MILAN: -- Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is due to start a year of community service at a care home near Milan.


He was sentenced to four years in prison for tax fraud last year, commuted to four hours work a week with elderly dementia patients.

The Catholic care home says Berlusconi, 77, will be treated like any other assistant.

The billionaire has been embroiled in a string of court cases.

His conviction last year was in connection with the purchase of TV rights by his firm, Mediaset, in the 1990s.

But he was spared prison because the Italian legal system is lenient to the over-70s.
