Berlusconi tells 'so-called judges': I am innocent

A defiant Silvio Berlusconi has told a cheering crowd of thousands that he is innocent of tax fraud despite a ruling by Italy’s high court confirming his guilt and four-year jail term.

Mr Berlusconi told supporters that he would not resist criticising the judges who made the ruling last week, and declared: “I will say to my so-called judges: I am innocent.”
