Milan’s San Raffaele hospital on Monday confirmed reports that Silvio Berlusconi has been moved from its intensive-care unit to an ordinary ward in an update on the ex-premier’s condition.

The 86-year-old Forza Italia leader, who was admitted to hospital on April 5 for a lung infection and the sudden worsening of a chronic leukaemia, reportedly left the intensive care unit on Sunday. (ANSA
