Berlusconi tax-fraud conviction was not unfair says ECHR

The ECHR has dismissed an appeal concerning the fairness of Silvio Berlusconi's tax-fraud conviction. Berlusconi was convicted in 2013 for tax evasion related to his media business, resulting in penalties including a ban from public office. His heirs pursued the case after his death in 2023, arguing judicial bias. However, the ECHR found no evidence of impartiality from the judges involved and rejected other complaints as unfounded or untimely.
