It will be some time before they actually finalise anything. I'm sure he is guilty but I'm just interested to know how it affects the club.
I really hope he is working on an equity sale.

C'mon...tax evasion is hardly a mafioso crime. It's a big business crime.

Berlusconi: "I can't take care of Milan anymore. My aim is to continue the process of modernization and changing of this country. Besides politics, you know my other obligations. I have the Luigi Berlusconi Foundation, which aims at building hospitals for children around the world. I wanted to dedicate more time to the Università della Libertà, and my third obligation is a football club that needs particular care at the moment. However, I cannot dedicate any more time to any of these three things, because I want to devote the maximum of my time to politics". LinkWell, there you have it. If anyone didn't believe that Silvio doesn't care about Milan anymore, you've got the confirmation from the big man himself. Thoughts?

I have a slightly different translation from football-italia. QUOTE Milan President Silvio Berlusconi admits the club “needs to be looked after at the moment.”
The patron hit the headlines this week when he was sentenced to four years in prison for tax fraud, but it was reduced to one year due to a legal loophole and he won’t actually have to serve any time until the lengthy appeals process has concluded.
“I wanted to dedicate myself to a football club that needs to be looked after at the moment,” he said in a Press conference.
“As you know, aside from politics I also deal with the Luigi Berlusconi Foundation, whose mission it is to build hospitals for children around the world.
“I will have to spread my attention around all these different directions, because I intend to dedicate most of my time to my country and continuing the process of modernisation and change.”
Some of Berlusconi’s recent legal problems have seen him hit with huge fines, which some suggest is the reason Milan have had to tighten their belts recently.
This week former Prime Minister Berlusconi also announced that he would not be running for office again. It doesn't mean much either way. As a operational figure his influence has been waning for a long time now. And something like this already happened with Roma under the Sensi family. I only hope we won't go down that same route.

(IMG: http://www.milanfan.com/forums/style_images/bullet/folder_post_icons/icon2.gif) My question is, does this mean he wants to sell the club? because as much as I want to believe it does, I don't think so. he ain't gonna let go of "this thing" easily now. and why should he, as long as the club is not in the red which means we will have to suffer for the years to come and sell our valuable players to make ends meet.

I don't believe that. For someone as egotistical as Berlusconi to have one of his possessions 'suck' all the time makes him look bad and that he won't tolerate.

We already know he is doing that. It's just hard to find someone in this economic climate.
