David Mills loses bribery case appeal

[muriel_volestrangler]

David Mills, the estranged husband of UK cabinet minister Tessa Jowell, has lost his appeal against a bribery conviction in Italy.
...
Mills had been sentenced in February to four-and-a-half years in prison for corruption.
...
Mr Berlusconi has denied paying a bribe and has said he does not even know Mills.

That defence is likely to be re-examined after Italy's most senior court ruled that Mr Berlusconi's protection from prosecution violated the constitution.

You've got to keep up hope - would a conviction of Berlusconi mean he had to resign, even if he can't go to jail now?

1. While I hold no brief for Mills...

it does seem slightly unfair that he should be punished for accepting a bribe when the briber goes scot-free. When is the disgusting Berlusconi going to get a small part of what's been coming to him for a long time?
