Veronica Lario, the second ex-wife of Silvio Berlusconi, has been ordered to repay the former Italian prime minister around €60 million after a court ruled that his alimony payments were too steep.
Berlusconi had contested the terms of their divorce settlement in Milan’s court of appeal, which on Thursday found in his favour. The court found that the €1.4 million a month that billionaire Berlusconi had been paying Lario was excessive.

Berlusconi benefitted from a recent change in the way that Italy calculates divorce settlements, which in the past were designed to allow the claimant spouse to maintain the same standard of living they enjoyed during the marriage.
