Top 10 Worst Silvio Berlusconi Gaffes
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has conquered Italian politics for 17 years, been indicted more than 20 times and currently stands trial for four different convictions. As he prepares to step down, TIME takes a look at his most regrettable faux pas and inappropriate zingers
"I am, and not only in my own opinion, the best Prime Minister who could be found today. I believe there is no one in history to whom I should feel inferior. Quite the opposite."
In October 2009, the constitutional court overturned a ruling that allowed Berlusconi to have immunity from prosecution while in office. The verdict reopened two corruption cases, and in a press conference, Berlusconi declared himself the most "legally persecuted man of all times, in the whole history of mankind, worldwide."
