Berlusconi, who has dominated politics for 20 years, could now face arrest over other criminal cases as he has lost his immunity from prosecution. He told supporters in Rome it was a "day of mourning" for democracy.[/quote]
The people taking pictures of Berlusconi in those sorts of poses for news organizations must be making a fortune right now :v:
Why is he immune from prosecution in the first place?

[QUOTE=agentalexandre;42999446]Why is he immune from prosecution in the first place?[/QUOTE] IIRC it's supposed to make them less susceptible to blackmail so they don't change their vote because of it. In order to lift that immunity you gotta go through a court so well-paid they're almost immune to bribery.
[QUOTE=agentalexandre;42999446]Why is he immune from prosecution in the first place?[/QUOTE] Corrupt as fuck.
It's just been revoked! EDIT: What? [I]Somebody[/I] had to say it.
