Italy PM Silvio Berlusconi appears in corruption case

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has made his latest appearance in court in Milan on corruption charges.

Outside the court he attacked prosecutors for humiliating him when he had better things to do, on the day when Osama Bin Laden had been killed.

He called the charges against him "pure invention".

This case, known as Mediatrade, is one of four Mr Berlusconi is currently facing.

The Italian prime minister denies claims he inflated the price paid for TV rights and then skimmed off the difference to fund political and other activities.

His son and a number of others are accused alongside him.
