Italy's former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi has been diagnosed with leukaemia after he was admitted to hospital, Reuters reports.
The 86-year-old was being treated in intensive care at Milan's San Raffaele Hospital on Wednesday after suffering breathing problems.
Reuters cited a source who said he had been diagnosed with leukaemia, confirming what was previously reported by the Corriere della Sera daily. "He's stable. He's a rock," Mr Berlusconi's brother Paolo said after visiting him on Wednesday afternoon. The billionaire has suffered several bouts of ill health in recent years and came out of hospital last week.
Mr Berlusconi's Forza Italia party is part of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's right-wing coalition, but he does not have a role in government.
