Berlusconi again...

Simple question, but I suspect a rather complicated answer!

Will they ever actually get Berlo behind bars ???

IMHO - no!

He'll wriggle and wriggle, pay the odd bribe here and there, and then wriggle some more.

Very simple answer Centauro, NO. he's got so many people in his pocket, not to mention the 'Dyed Hair Brigade' rooting (pardon the pun) for him, that only a totally no corrupt Government would be able to put him behind bars, and we know the chances of that happening.

What is it though with the Italian justice system, that allows appeal upon appeal to take so long that the charges/convictions eventually time expire before the accused see the inside of a goal. Surely this can't be right!

I do not think that we will see anything like that happening. At least, while he is alive. It will take at least 20 more years to see some major changes and he will not see them. Neither will I, or... should I still be alive I do not think that I would care
