Italy Berlusconi Trial
FILE — In this file photo taken on April 4 2013, Karima el-Mahroug, the Moroccan woman at the center of ex-Premier Silvio Berlusconi’s sex-for-hire trial, arrives at the court in Milan. A Milan court has convicted former Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi of paying for sex with an under-age prostitute during infamous “bunga bunga” parties at his villa and then using his influence to try to cover it up. Berlusconi, 76, was sentenced to seven years in prison and barred from public office for life. The ban on holding office could mean the end of Berlusconi’s two-decade political career. However, there are two more levels of appeal before the sentence would become final. (AP Photo/Luca Bruno)
