George Clooney could be a witness in the Silvio sex trial
March 30th, 2011 - 3:22 am ICT by Aishwarya BhattLos Angeles, Mar 29 (THAINDIAN NEWS) George Clooney could be a witness in the high profile sex trial of the Italian President Silvio Berlusconi. Berlusconi is charged with having sex with a minor during a party.
Clooney is being called by the defense lawyers to take the stand and testify in the case. The Oscar-winning actor is among a list of about 78 witnesses called by the defense team.
Berlusconi is accused of paying a 17-year-old Moroccan girl for sex. The Italian premier has denied the allegations saying it is the work of his detractors.
Images of the “bunga bunga” party that Berlusconi hosted have been published in several tabloids. Berlusconi has had several of those parties and he has faced several accusations of sleeping with young women. Clooney is being called up because he was at one of such parties organized by Berlusconi. Clooney was seen with his Italian model girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis at one of the parties. Canalis in an interview with BBC denied being at the party. The said party was said to have been held in February 2010.
Berlusconi is facing flurry of charges including corruption.
The sex trial is set to begin on the 6th of April.
