The 86-year-old billionaire media tycoon has suffered repeated bouts of ill-health in recent years and came out of hospital just last week.

Berlusconi, a four-times prime minister, had major heart surgery in 2016 and has also had prostate cancer. He has been repeatedly admitted to hospital over the past couple of years after contracting COVID-19 in 2020.

San Raffaele hospital did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Italy’s AGI newsagency said Berlusconi was in a cardiac intensive care unit.
