Put the short passage below
into Italian. N.B. : Consider text type
Silvio Berlusconi was
sentenced to four years' jail by an Italian court on Friday at the end of a
lengthy trial for tax fraud related to the acquisition of TV rights by his
company Mediaset – but it remains unlikely he will ever see a prison cell.
Under the Italian legal system, the country's former prime minister will be
entitled to two appeals before a definitive sentence. Berlusconi's sentence
will also be reduced to one year under a 2006 measure that stripped three years
off sentences for crimes committed before that date.
Berlusconi was also banned from public office for five years and ordered to
pay €10m (£8.3m) to the Italian tax office, measures that would take effect if
his conviction is upheld by the two appeals
