David Mills has been sentenced to 4 years 6 months for perjury.
Yesterday, English lawyer David Mills was sentenced to 4 years 6 months in prison for perjury in corruption trials. He will also have to pay 250.000 euro in costs and he has been banned from holding public office for 5 years. According to the Milan judges, the 600,000 paid to Mills by Fininvest in ’98 were to bribe him to give false testimony in two trials, corruption of the Guardia di Finanza and All Iberian, both involving Italy’s prime minister Silvio Berlusconi. Mr Berlusconi, Mills’ co-defendant, was not affected by this sentence, thanks to the Alfani Law, which gives immunity from prosecution to the four chief political figures (pending a decision of the Constitutional Court).
PS Mills’ is the brother-in-law of Dame Barbara Mills, QC.
