Italian Supreme Court upheld the acquittal of former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, the so-called "case Ruby".
In the summer of 2013 a court in Milan sentenced a politician to seven years in prison, finding him guilty of involvement in the involvement of minors in prostitution and abuse of office. According to the verdict, Berlusconi has been banned from holding public office.
However, in July last year, the Court of Appeal of Milan acquitted former prime minister in the case of using the services of an underage prostitute Karim Mahrug (nicknamed Ruby Heartbreakers). The acquittal was handed down for lack of evidence and lack of evidence.
The decision of the highest court in Italy - the Supreme Court - is final and not appealable.
