(ANSA) - Bari, November 16 - A judge in the southern city of
Bari on Friday sent ex-premier Silvio Berlusconi to trial for
allegedly bribing a witness to give false evidence about alleged
sex parties.
The case regards the alleged prostitution of escorts that
Italian entrepreneur Gianpaolo Tarantini brought to Silvio
Berlusconi's homes between 2008 and 2009.
Prosecutors say Berlusconi gave Tarantini work and money so
that he would lie to investigators probing the escorts case.
Berlusconi's defence team said it was confident of a swift
acquittal.
