An Italian court has ruled that former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi may call the actor George Clooney and international football/soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo as witnesses at his sex trial. Berlusconi is accused of paying for sex with an underage prostitute, Karima El Mahrough.
El Mahroug has previously said that Clooney was at a dinner at Berlusconi’s house, a claim the former Italian leader denies. Berlusconi wants Clooney to testify on his behalf.
Ronaldo is perhaps more intimately involved in the case. El Mahroug alleges that she had sexual relations with the Real Madrid star-a claim that he denies.
