Prosecutors appeal Berlusconi's acquittal

Italian prosecutors on Friday appealed Premier Silvio Berlusconi's acquittal in a corruption trial, one of his defense lawyers said.

Berlusconi's lawyer, Niccolo Ghedini, said prosecutors filed an appeal seeking his conviction on charges he bribed judges to stop the SME state food conglomerate from being sold to a rival industrialist, Carlo De Benedetti.

In December, a Milan court cleared Berlusconi on one count and said the statute of limitations had run out on a second in the case, which dates back to the 1980s.

Under Italian law, acquittals as well as convictions can be appealed.

The Milan courthouse was closed Friday, and prosecutors could not immediately be reached.

Berlusconi, who owns a vast portion of the nation's media, was the first sitting Italian premier at risk of conviction on criminal charges.

In 1985, judges blocked the SME sale and ruled in favor of a group of magnates including Berlusconi. The sale never came off, and the food group was later sold off in parcels.

The second charge grew out of accusations he had kept a judge on his payroll in case of criminal charges against his businesses.

Berlusconi has faced several criminal cases related to his business empire. In other trials, he either has been acquitted or his convictions have been reversed on appeal or annulled because the statute of limitations had run out.
