The trial of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and 11 others for alleged tax fraud on film sales for his Mediaset media group was adjourned until April 12, an Italian news agency reported on Monday.
According to Ansa, none of the defendants were in court.
Berlusconi has not shown up for several hearings because of his "institutional duties."
He is also involved in a second trial, for allegedly bribing British corporate lawyer David Mills for committing perjury.
Mills saw his four-and-a-half year sentence for the bribe thrown out under the statute of limitations on February 25.
