Berlusconi will Sozialstunden leisten
Auf Hausarrest hat der "Cavaliere" offenbar keine Lust: Stattdessen wird Silvio Berlusconi seine Strafe wegen Steuervergehen laut seinem Anwalt in Sozialstunden ableisten. Zur Wahl stehen etwa ein Engagement in Umweltprojekten - oder die Arbeit im Altersheim.
Rom - Multimilliardär Silvio Berlusconi muss sich wohl schon bald auf gänzlich neue Aufgabenfelder einstellen. Der wegen Steuerbetrugs rechtskräftig verurteilte Politiker will seine Strafe mit Sozialstunden ableisten. Laut Medienberichten vom Sonntag kann der dreimalige italienische Ministerpräsident dann mit einer Verkürzung der Strafe und weniger strengen Regeln rechnen.

Banksy makes a splash in New York – but what will become of the murals?
He is the anonymous street art vigilante who uses the nondescript walls of cities to stage million-dollar exhibitions. In many places around the world, Banksy's graffiti art, with its strong political motifs, has become a cultural symbol and a community treasure. This month he is in New York, for what is expected to be a month-long residency featuring several new projects.
However, with great artistic acclaim and value comes a surge in commercialization. Many of Banksy's murals – prized greatly by art fans but even more so by private property owners – have been displaced and auctioned. In Los Angeles in August, a Banksy Flower Girl piece was removed from a gas station and put up for auction. The starting bid was $300,000. In February, a piece entitled Slave Labour disappeared under mysterious circumstances from a North London Poundland store, only to turn up in a Miami auction later that month, with an asking price of $700,000.
