An Italian court has found British tax lawyer David Mills guilty of accepting a bribe of about £400,000 and sentenced him to four-and-a-half years in prison.

He denies that claim, and was removed from the case after passing a law making himself immune from prosecution.

Mr Mills, the estranged husband of UK minister Tessa Jowell, is expected to appeal against the verdict.

4. And why isn't Berlusconi being sentenced for *giving* that bribe?

Oh, yes, 'parliamentary immunity'. And owning most of the media in Italy can't hurt. Horrible man.
