Reuters reports that former Italian Prime Minister Sylvio Berlusconi passed away today (June 12). Besides his political career, Berlusconi was also well-known in the world of football as the president of AC Milan.
The Italian politician bought AC Milan in 1986 when the club was on the verge of bankruptcy. Berlusconi's investments helped AC Milan regain its position as a top club in Italy and European football. During the Berlusconi era, AC Milan won 8 Serie A titles, 1 Italian Cup, 5 Champions League titles, and 5 UEFA Super Cups.
