Euronews – Silvio Berlusconi, former prime minister of Italy and media tycoon, has died aged 86.
Berlusconi was readmitted to a Milan hospital Friday for planned medical checks related to his chronic leukaemia, his doctors said in a statement.
Berlusconi’s doctors, Alberto Zangrillo and Fabio Ciceri, said the tests being conducted at San Raffaele Hospital had been moved up “as part of normal practice in medicine,” and that the timing didn’t signal “any criticality or alarm.”
The 86-year-old media mogul and former three-time premier spent 45 days being treated for a lung infection and chronic leukaemia at the same hospital, before being discharged exactly three weeks ago.
