With a cast including showgirls, a chiselled athlete, and the most handsome man in Hollywood, it sounds like a sure fire box-office winner.
\nIn fact, it\u2019s a far more serious matter \u2013 the trial of Italy\u2019s former prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, on vice charges and abuse of office.<\/p>\n
George Clooney and Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo are among more than 200 witnesses called to give evidence in a Milan court from December 2. Others include former Formula One team boss Flavio Briatore and the former glamour model who was Mr Berlusconi\u2019s equal opportunities minister, Mara Carfagna.<\/p>\n
The prosecution also wants to hear from Karima el-Mahroug, also known by her stage name \u201cRuby the Heart Breaker\u201d, the Moroccan teenager who is alleged to have had sex with the politician in exchange for money. She has since denied having a sexual relationship with the 75-year-old.<\/p>\n
George has said he was approached by the defendant\u2019s team to give evidence about so-called \u201cbunga bunga\u201d parties at his villas.
\nMr Berlusconi\u2019s lawyers want him to \u201cdismantle\u201d the teenager\u2019s account and undermine her credibility as a witness \u2013 Ruby originally claimed she dined at the leader\u2019s palazzo with the Hollywood star.<\/p>\n
Interviewed in October, the actor said he\u2019d visited the premier\u2019s residence only once to seek aid for Darfur and it turned into \u201cone of the more astonishing evenings of my life\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
