My friend Rocky used to say that Italian politicians invented corruption. My guess is this guy stayed on top for has long as he did because he was better at it than the others. Now his opponents used the corrupt system to finally get the better of him, and he should consider himself lucky to be alive to complain about it.
Of course there's always the long chance that the courts aren't corrupt and he got caught for real...
