Italian media mogul and former Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, has passed away at the age of 86. Berlusconi was a controversial figure in Italian politics, serving as Prime Minister for four terms and owning one of Italy’s largest media companies, Mediaset. His ownership of Mediaset was plagued with scandal, including a tax fraud trial that resulted in a conviction and a ban from holding office. Berlusconi’s career was also marred by sex scandals and corruption allegations. Despite this, his death has left a “huge void” in Italian politics, according to Italy’s Defence Minister Guido Crosetto. Berlusconi’s passing could lead to a destabilization of Italian politics in the coming months.
