Court says Berlusconi must do community service in center for elderly

An Italian court ruled that former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi must visit a center for the elderly at least once a week as he serves a one-year sentence for tax fraud doing community service, Reuters reported.

In a statement on Tuesday, the court also set travel restrictions for Berlusconi.

The court said the prominent 77-year-old center-right politician will not be allowed to travel outside the Lombardy region where he has his principal residence except for trips to Rome from Tuesdays to Thursdays.

It was not immediately clear from the court ruling if Berlusconi would be able to campaign for his Forza Italia party ahead of European Parliament elections next month.
