in Siena and Rome have already acquitted Berlusconi, although prosecutors in Siena are appealing. The Milan case is the biggest and most high-profile.
They also sought sentences of between one and six years for 27 other defendants, including the exotic dancer, Karima El Mahroug, better known by her stage name, Ruby the Heartstealer. The Milan trial has been paused repeatedly due to the tycoon's frequent health problems and even if he is convicted there is little chance he would have to go to jail due to a long appeals process and his advanced age.
