George Clooney quoted Berlusconi as a witness in the case Ruby

The show must go on, even in court. As was learned today, lawyers for the Italian magnate and politician Silvio Berlsuconi cited as a witness in the Ruby case, in which the prime minister is charged with child prostitution and abuse of power, actor and director George Clooney and his Elisabetta Canalis Italian friend, a television starlette.

It was known that Clooney and Canalis have ever visited the residence of Arcore Silvio Berlusconi, the scene of the alleged sex dinners and organized by the prime minister and billionaire, but few had the presence of the Hollywood star in the trial start on 6 April. It seems that Berlusconi's lawyers have decided to make the process, in which his head is risking 15 years in prison, in a parade of famous faces.

Among the 78 witnesses called by Niccolò Ghedini and Piero Longo, ministers are also Mariastella Gelmini (Education) and Mara Carfagna (Equal) Arcore who dined in the evening of February 14, 2010, when Berlusconi made his debut at home the young Moroccan Karim El Mahroug, better known as Ruby heartthrob.

They must also appear in the foreign minister, Franco Frattini, the Culture, Giancarlo Galan, as well as MPs of the People of Freedom Paolo Bonaiuti, and Maria Rosaria Valentini Valentino Rossi. Without missing the famous singers television Bethlehem Rodriguez (Argentina sweeping one in Italy) and Aida Yespica, and presenter Barbara D'Urso.

The young Ruby, which is the key character of the two charges against Berlusconi, has been called as witnesses for both its supporters and by the prosecution. The Milan prosecutor has lodged today in court a list of 132 people, making a total of 210 witnesses and promises to make the oral jucie in a long, colorful and confusing saga.

Among the respondents called by prosecutors Ilda Boccassini, Pietro Antonio Forno and Sangermano are the 32 young prostitutes veline and brightened according to the indictment bunga bunga nights at the Villa San Martino in Arcore, and a dozen police officers in Milan where Berlusconi called the night of May 27 this year to ask them to release a Ruby (arrested for a theft) that she was the niece of then Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

Prosecutors have already announced they are against the presence of television cameras in court, but judges who will make the final decision.
