A Milan appeals court today upheld the conviction of former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi for tax fraud in a film-rights case involving his Mediaset SpA television company.

An audio of the judge’s ruling was transmitted by SkyTG24. The verdict carried a four-year prison sentence when Berlusconi was convicted by the lower court in October.
