Silvio Berlusconi was sentenced to a year in prison today in his wiretapping case, but don't look for him to be wearing stripes anytime soon, Reuters reports. He can appeal the decision, and a jail term won't start until all possible appeals are exhausted, ANSA explains. This sentence is related to his conviction for publicizing an illegally obtained wiretap of a confidential phone call in 2005, but the former Italian prime minister still faces trials involving alleged tax fraud and, of course, sex with an underage prostitute.
