Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has been ordered to do community service to repay society for his tax fraud conviction.

An Italian court ordered Berlusconi to do community service and set travel restrictions that will limit his ability to campaign for next month's European Parliament elections.

According to news24, under the one-year assignment, announced by a Milan court on Tuesday, Berlusconi will have to spend at least four hours one day a week at an elderly center.

Berlusconi was sentenced to four years for tax fraud, reduced to one year for a general amnesty. The one-year community service order may eventually be reduced by 45 days, the report added.
