The prescription of the trial for the sale of Senators against Silvio Berlusconi who demanded the acquittal of the corruption charge was confirmed by the Cbadation. The crime was reconverted into abusive bribery, as requested by the Pg, but the result of the prescription remained unchanged. According to the prosecution, Berlusconi had former Senator Idv Sergio De Gregorio 3 million euros to pbad from center to center right by voting the mistrust of the government in 2008.
With this verdict from the Criminal section VI, the supreme judges they confirmed the order declared by the Court of Appeal of Naples on April 20, 2017, limiting itself to re-educate the crime. The constitution of a civil party of the Senate remains valid, which makes it possible to obtain, by separate judgment, the indemnity for the damages resulting from the sale of the parliamentary function. At first instance Berlusconi, with the former director of Avanti Valter Lavitola had been sentenced to 3 years with the suspension of public office for 5 years. Girolamo had negotiated a 20-month sentence in 2013. Only the blue leader and Forza Italia appealed to the Supreme Court against the statute of limitations. Unsuccessfully Berlusconi's defense, with Professor Franco Coppi, baderted that " parliamentary activity is unquestionable and it is not possible to establish whether a vote is the result of giving money: the vote is covered by parliamentary immunity and can not be investigated ". Nicolò Ghedini, rather challenged the creation of a civil party of the Senate. The PG of the Cbadation Luigi Orsi had asked to confirm the prescription and to reconquer the crime in abusive corruption, always with the result of the prescription. In the first place, the leader of Forza Italia had been sentenced to three years in prison. In the motivations of the second degree conviction – as FattoQuotidiano reported – they argued that the former prime minister had acted to bribe.
