MILAN (Reuters) - A Milan court on Wednesday ordered an expert opinion on Silvio Berlusconi's health as the former Italian prime minister's trial on bribery charges has been repeatedly delayed due to his hospital visits.

The trial began in 2017, with 84-year old Berlusconi charged with bribing witnesses in a previous case where he was accused of paying for sex with a minor, in which he was finally acquitted. He has pleaded not guilty.
