Supreme Court of Italy ruled the 2008 ratified immunity law for high-ranking officials (including Prime Minister Silvio Belusconi) unconstitutional. Thus, the Court rejected Berlusconi’s prosecution immunity while he takes the seat.
The immunity law was passed by Berlusconi’s Government soon after he came to power.
“A trial in Milan in which Berlusconi is charged with tax evasion, which was suspended last year after parliament approved the immunity law, can now resume,” The Guardian informs.
Commenting on the decision Berlusconi said the court is leftwing and he is not going to leave the office.
Italian PM Spokesman bitterly criticizing the court decision said, “the Conservative Government will maintain the functions that Italian nation assigned to it in April, 2008.”
