While his conviction is good news, he most likely won't stay in jail for long, politicians always weasel their way out by claiming to be too ill or too old, and are granted house arrest, which in Italy isn't even real "arrest", since you can even leave the house at certain hours of the day and there are no guards at the door to check whether the criminal stays inside even outside those hours. It would be a miracle if D'Ali actually does his whole time in prison, it's literally impossible in my opinion.

The writing on courtroom walls "La legge e' uguale per tutti" ("The law is equal for everyone") is bullshit imo....Some people are "more equal" than others, and D'Ali will surely turn out to be one of them, unfortunately.

Cuffaro and Dell'Utri did some time in prison anyway
