Berlusconi immunity law overruled

Italy\'s constitutional court has overturned a law granting Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi immunity from prosecution while in office.
The move means Mr Berlusconi could stand trial in at least three court cases, including one in which he’s accused of corruption.
The judges say immunity violated the principle that all citizens were equal.
Meanwhile, Mr Berlusconi says he had expected the ruling as the court was made up of left-wing judges.
He says he has no plan to resign and says any trial involving him would be a farce.
