Former Italian Prime Minister was convicted of inciting prostitution for young Moroccan dancer Karima El-Mahroug, better known under the name 'Ruby' old at the time of the facts of 17 years, and abuse of power.

The time has come for Berlusconi to account! This time, Berlusconi was unable to evade justice. After a trial postponed on many occasions, he was sentenced Monday to seven years in prison in the first instance by the Milan court and sentenced to lifetime ineligibility in the famous case of "Rubygate" reports Le Monde. Former Italian Prime Minister has in fact been convicted of inciting prostitution young Moroccan dancer Karima El-Mahroug, known by the name "Ruby".
It was old at the relevant time only 17 years. It is believed to have had sex with the young woman priced, while he was still prime minister. The facts, they categorically deny, would place at parties held in his villa at Arcore near Milan. Silvio Berlusconi had also used his power while he was at the head of the Italian Council for Ruby out of prison, arguing that it was a descent with former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
The ruling that temporarily halted proceedings commenced in April 2011 against Silvio Berlusconi could have serious consequences for Berlusconi, who is now 76 years old.
For now, Silvio Berlusconi does not serve his double penalty as his lawyers have not exhausted all appeals and appeals. He still has a chance to escape justice.
