The politician was also in hospital a few weeks ago. He had a lung infection due to chronic leukemia and had to stay in the hospital for a month and a half. Berlusconi has been struggling for years with fragile health. He too ended up in the hospital after being infected with the corona virus.

Billionaire

Berlusconi was Italy’s prime minister three times and left his mark on the country. But the businessman and billionaire was also a controversial man outside of politics. His life was marked by power, but also by sex scandals and constant allegations of corruption and tax fraud.
