Silvio Berlusconi tax fraud jail term confirmed

Italy's supreme court has upheld the prison sentence handed down to former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi for tax fraud.

However, the court ordered a review of a five-year ban on public office that was part of the sentence.

Berlusconi, 76, faces house arrest or community service instead of going to jail because of his age.
