Italy ex-PM Berlusconi to do community service - court
Italy's former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi must do one year's community service over tax fraud, a Milan court has ruled.
He was convicted of tax fraud last year in connection with TV rights purchased by his firm Mediaset in the 1990s.
The alternative to community service had been house arrest. It is not yet clear what form his community service will take.
The 77-year-old billionaire has been embroiled in a string of court cases.

He'll hire someone to do it for him. Berlusconi has gotta be Berlusconi - he's going to find someone to do it for him while he 'supervises'. smh
