Silvio Berlusconi Temporarily Subject To Prosecution

“Italy’s top court partially struck down on Thursday a law shielding Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi from prosecution, allowing individual judges to decide whether he can be forced to face trial, sources close to the court said.” But: “For most leaders, this might be a devastating setback, but Berlusconi has been here before. The court also struck down immunity laws protecting Berlusconi in 2004 and 2009 and he simply passed new laws.”
