Luck running out for Sergio?
Sergio Berlusconi, former Prime Minister of Italy, has been indicted for the eighth time. He was found guilty in four of his previous seven trials but avoided punishment as he won his appeals or the statute of limitations had run out. All of his previous trials occurred when he was either on the way up to or had reached the job of Prime Minister. What will happen now that he is an ex-Prime Minister?

Ex-prime minister he may be, but he is still the wealthiest man in Italy, and almost certainly the most powerful. It will be interesting to watch whether the Italian judiciary can finally bring him to account for his misdeeds, or if the corruption he controls will continue to win out.
