TV host Simona Ventura was
indicted Monday over allegedly inaccurate income tax returns
between 2012 and 2015, sources said.
The showgirl and actor, 54, allegedly made false statements
of returns running into the hundreds of thousands of euros, the
sources said.
The trial started in Milan earlier Monday, sources said.
Ventura's lawyers said: "This in no way concerns tax evasion.
"It was a fiscal choice made by professionals which the
inland revenue agency did not consider effective".
Ventura, born on 1 April 1965 in Bentivoglio, is an Italian
television presenter, actress and singer.
