(ANSA) - Milan, January 21 - George Clooney and Cristiano
Ronaldo will not testify at Silvio Berlusconi's trial into
alleged sex with an underage prostitute, judges said Monday.Testimony from the Hollywood actor and the Real Madrid striker, called by the defence, was adjudged "superfluous" to the case, where the ex-premier is accused of having sex with a Moroccan dancer known as Ruby the Heart-stealer when she was 17, a year under the legal age for prostitution.
The defence wanted the two stars to attest to the non-sexual nature of the ex-premier's alleged bunga bunga parties.
The judges rejected a defence plea to suspend the trial for the duration of the election campaign and set the next hearing for Monday, January 28, when Ruby's mother will testify for the defence.
