Silvio Berlusconi, four-time Italian PM, dies at 86

Former Italian Prime Minister and businessman-turned-politician Silvio Berlusconi passed away in Milan at the age of 86, according to the media report.

The right-wing leader, who was born on 29 September, 1936, in Milan, was elected PM of Italy four times and transformed Italian politics. His dominance over the electoral process had an impact on the opinions of an entire generation of Italians.

The Ex- Italian PM was also known for his money and sex scandals, apart from being a bigwig in Italian politics.

He won elections again in 2001 and 2008 thanks to new voters drawn to his economic growth pledges. He stayed in office until the end of 2011, when he stepped down following a highly publicised sex scandal.
