Politicians supporting Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi hope to bring in new laws that could cut short his pending trials on tax fraud and corruption, it has emerged.

The trials were set to resume this month after a law granting Mr Berlusconi immunity from prosecution while in office was overturned in October.

His lawyers have been trying to come up with measures that might shield Mr Berlusconi from the trials.
