Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi reacts during a meeting of his party Popolo della Liberta (PDL) presenting the ‘PDL, services to Italians’ project on February 28, 2011 in Milan. At the same time and at a very short distance at Milan’s appeal court, a tax fraud trial involving Berlusconi resumed in his absence in the first of a series of showdowns between the embattled leader and Italy’s justice system.
