Casenote – Berlusconi at the European Court of Justice – C-387/02

On the 3rd of May 2005, the ECJ gave judgment in the Silvio Berlusconi and Others case dealing with the provisions of the First (D68/151/EEC), Fourth (D78/660/EEC) and Seventh (D83/349/EEC) Companies Directives and the transposing Italian national provisions. The case is a preliminary ruling referred to the ECJ by several Italian courts (Tribunale di Milano, Corte d'Appello di Lecce) on the basis of Art.234 EC Treaty. It has been decided by the Grand Chamber of the ECJ, which is quite indicative of a significant judgment. Furthermore, the Grand Chamber did not follow the opinion of the Advocate General Kokott. Finally, it is interesting to note that no other government except the Italian Government contributed to the case. This last fact seems very strange having regard to the highly sensitive issue. Indeed the decision deals with the criminal sanctions for false accounting.
