(ANSA) - Rome, July 31 - Rome prosecutors have decided to
request that a probe into alleged sexual abuse by Italian film
director Fausto Brizzi be dropped, sources said on Tuesday.
Brizzi, who specialises in popular comedies, was put under
investigation in April after three women filed complaints over
alleged episodes that took place in 2014, 2015 and 2017.
Brizzi was questioned by investigators about the allegations
in April.
Earlier this year movie and theatre producer Luca
Barbareschi told ANSA he had Brizzi under contract for three
years.
Barbareschi said "Brizzi is a genius. He has a wonderful
mind. This #metoo gang are loonies. It's comical".
