“AC Milan” has announced that it deeply mourns the death of the former owner of the team, former Prime Minister of Italy Silvio Berlusconi, who will forever remain with the club.
Berlusconi passed away on June 12 at the age of 86.
“Milan” is deeply saddened and mourns the loss of the unforgettable Silvio Berlusconi. We also warmly embrace his family, colleagues, and closest friends.
