Mills will have to pay 250,000 euros as damages to the Italian government.
He won't yet have to face the jail sentence of 4 and a half years as in the Italian courts he has a third appeal to lodge
Quite where this leaves the Italian Prime Minister is not clear.He managed to secure immunity over the charges but this was overturned by the Italian courts and he may have to stand trial.
