Silvio Berlusconi dead at 86, reports say

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:25:07 GMT

Silvio Berlusconi, the former Italian prime minister, has died aged 86, Italian media reports said Monday. Berlusconi, who was a senator and leader of the right-wing Forza Italia party — a junior partner in Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s coalition government — was admitted to a Milan hospital last week.A billionaire media and property tycoon-turned-politician, Berlusconi rose to the top of Italian politics in the 1990s, leading the country for close to a decade during three terms as prime minister.In recent years, however, his political career was tarnished by a series of scandals, reducing his profile and influence. Italy’s latest general election, which saw his Forza Italia party join Meloni’s governing coalition, marked Berlusconi’s return to the domestic limelight — albeit in a diminished role.Hannah Roberts contributed reporting from Rome.
