Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi vowed not to step down after the country's highest court overturned a law granting him immunity from prosecution. "I am the best prime minister ever," said Berlusconi, who is embroiled in corruption and bribery scandals. "I am absolutely the politician most persecuted by prosecutors in the entire history of the world throughout the ages." He added that he had spent "200 million euros on judges... excuse me, on lawyers."
