DHAKA: Italian former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has won an appeal against his conviction for paying for sex with an underage prostitute.
His seven-year prison sentence has now been thrown out by judges in Milan, in the so-called ‘Ruby’ case.
Last year a court found that he had paid for sex with a 17-year-old nightclub dancer, Karima El-Mahroug, known as ‘Ruby the Heartstealer’.
Berlusconi is doing community service after being sentenced for tax fraud.
