Clooney and Christian, cited by Silvio Berlusconi's defense

When on the bench waiting for a defendant famous, most likely are also witnesses. The Milan trial in which the former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is accused of incitement to child prostitution has all the earmarks of transforming into a major showcase for international divas and stars of the show indigenous. Among the 214 people who will testify before the judge, as established by the Court yesterday include George Clooney and Cristiano Ronaldo, but also some government ministers Berlusconi broke ten days ago with their resignations, as Mara Carfagna (Equality), Mariastella Gelmini (Education ) and Franco Frattini (Foreign) and Long-haired television faces, like Clooney's ex-girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis.

Numerous witnesses presented by prosecutors and the defense will begin to come to the courtroom on December 2. Berlusconi's lawyers hope that all these familiar characters were developed to explain how actually magnate who organized the dinner and away the impression that he was partying with dozens of girls to whom the president paid. Clooney has been quick to declare surprised by the call, because, he said, only once visited Berlusconi at his residence in Arcore (on the outskirts of Milan) and it was a meeting to discuss the problems in the Sudanese region of Darfur. Oddly enough, being that have posted pictures of the actor with the exmandatario party. With the testimony of the Real Madrid striker, meanwhile, expects the defense to question the "credibility" of Ruby, who reportedly spent a night with Ronaldo in exchange for 4,000 euros. He has always denied.

For its part, the prosecution will try to prove that the then head of government committed two sex crimes to keep a child and abusing his power.

It all began in Milan in May 2010. On the night of 27, a young dancer who called herself foreign Rubacuori Ruby was arrested after a complaint of theft. At 23.44 hours, the police received a call from Paris. Silvio Berlusconi was on an official visit in France, asking that the girl was immediately released because it was "Mubarak's niece." But Ruby, and Karima El Mahrou (his real name), is Moroccan, Egyptian no. Still less familiar of the deposed Egyptian dictator. Solo is the darling of Italian Prime Minister, who, to avoid uncomfortable truths to tell, he was involved personally and lied to a public official. Karima was released, but the news leaked phone call and came to the Milan prosecutor who questioned her. In his testimony emerged a much bigger picture: about 30 girls came to the Pharaonic usually Arcore mansion sex games to entertain with the head of government. Ruby had not yet turned 18.
