Italian policemen stand guard in front of the Justice Palace in Milan March 28, 2011. Italy's Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is expected to appear in court for the first time in almost eight years on Monday, in a trial over alleged fraud over the acquisition of television broadcasting rights. The constitutional court lifted Berlusconi's immunity from trial earlier this year, exposing him to three corruption and fraud cases linked to his Mediaset broadcasting empire and a separate trial in which he is accused of having sex with an underage prostitute.
