Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has been cleared of corruption charges.
Mr Berlusconi had been accused of bribing judges in the 1980s to favour his business interests.
He was acquitted on one count, and on the other judges in Milan ruled that the alleged offence happened too long ago for charges to be pressed.
The four-year trial was the first time a serving Italian prime minister had been tried in a criminal court.
He has always said he was the victim of a politically-motivated judicial witch-hunt.
State prosecutors had been demanding an eight-year jail term should he have been found guilty.
Mr Berlusconi only attended court three times during the four-year legal process,
The trial was suspended last summer after parliament passed a controversial law giving Mr Berlusconi immunity from prosecution.
But the constitutional court later overturned the ruling.
