Former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi has condemned being sentenced to one year in jail after being convicted of tax fraud, calling it "incredible and intolerable".
The media mogul and former Italian leader was sentenced to four years' jail, immediately reduced to one, after being convicted of tax fraud over the purchase of film rights for his media empire.

A brief report by the state-run Xinhua news agency said state prosecutors had "decided to put Bo Xilai under investigation for alleged criminal offences".
It added that they had "imposed coercive measures on him in accordance with the law", likely a reference that he was now officially in detention.
Mr Bo's wife, Gu Kailai, and his former police chief, Wang Lijun, have both been jailed over a scandal that stems from the murder of British businessman Neil Heywood while Mr Bo was Communist Party chief of the south-western city of Chongqing.
The government last month accused Mr Bo of corruption and of bending the law to hush up the murder.
