Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has gone back on trial on corruption charges after an immunity law was rejected earlier this year. He is accused of trying to bribe judges to influence a business deal.
Hearings began in Milan in front of a new panel of judges, which is expected to take two months to wade through evidence collected over three years. ... Prosecutors allege Mr Berlusconi, Italy's richest man, tried to scupper the takeover of state-owned food group SME by a rival firm in the 1980s, before he entered politics.
