Two-year parliamentary ban for Berlusconi
A court in Milan has ordered a two-year ban from parliament and elections for scandal-tainted former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi in the latest twist in his legal saga.

Maybe he'll die of old age before it is lifted again.

This is the second news item we've gotten from first post members that don't have a story or anything to go with them. Weird.

Maybe it is just that interesting.

These should really be in another forum because we can actually discuss them a bit but I think they'll get lost here.

Not sure if there is anything that really needs discussing. The story has been told countless times ^^

**AntiDamascus** · 10-20-2013, 19:27

I thought this ban was somewhat recent?

As far as I know he hasn't actually been banned yet. It needs to go through senate first. That bit is just a reputation thing. His actual punishment will either be house arrest or a year of community service.

I think it is spambot

**AntiDamascus** · 10-21-2013, 01:21

Well I think that too. But it's just odd that they are real stories with no real spam linked. I assume because they can't link another story under the guise of the news story.

Moved to the Backroom.

Are there any Italians here who read the backroom and who care to comment?

..because I think that in most other countries the opinions and views on Berlusconi are largely the same, regardless of who you ask.
