Berlusconi says pension cut 'outrage'

(ANSA) - Rome, July 16 - Ex-premier Silvio Berlusconi on Thursday told officials in his Forza Italia (FI) political party that the latest insult against him was axing of his parliamentary pension which he said he gave to charity. "After all that I have done in my years in government, to cut the annuity was an outrage". Last week, the Senate revoked Berlusconi's parliamentary pension because of his tax-fraud conviction. The pensions of 17 other ex lawmakers were also revoked.
