Ex-premier and Forza Italia leader
Silvio Berlusconi leader is returning to the Italian parliament
after nine years and his partner, Marta Fascina, will join him
among the new intake of lawmakers.
Berlusconi won the first-past-the-post contest in Monza with
over 50% of the vote to return to Senate after being ejected
from Upper House in 2013 due to the application of an
anti-corruption law following a tax-fraud conviction.
The ban on public office stemming from the conviction elapsed in
2019, which enabled Berlusconi to run for the European
Parliament and get elected.
Fascina was elected to the Lower House in Marsala.
