Ever the showman, Silvio Berlusconi looks set to have quite a starry line-up when he faces charges of sex with an underage prostitute.
The court holding Berlusconi’s trial has announced that Hollywood actor George Clooney and football star Cristiano Ronaldo could be among the witnesses called to testify at hearings.
Both men have been called to appear as defence witnesses as they attended parties at Berlusconi’s house, according to the former prime minister’s lawyer Niccolo Ghedini.
Prosecutors allege that Berlusconi repeatedly paid for sex with underage prostitute Karima el Mahroug – nicknamed Ruby the Heart-Stealer – and then abused his position by getting her freed from jail following her arrest for theft.
Berlusconi faces up to 15 years in jail if found guilty of charges – also including abuse of office – he faces at his trial.
Current will be showing Videocracy – a documentary about Berlusconi’s control of the TV industry – on December 12th.

In Italy one man only has kept the domination of the image over three entire decades. As a TV-magnate and then as Presidente, Silvio Berlusconi has created a perfect system of TV-entertainment and politics.
Like no one else he has influenced the content of commercial television in Italy. His TV-channels, known for their over-exposure of almost naked girls, are seen by many as a mirror of his own taste and personality.
In Videocracy director Erik Gandini returns to his country of birth portraying from the inside the consequences of a TV-experiment that Italians have been subjected to for 30 years.
The film brilliantly exposes the media circus that is Italian commercial TV with its omnipresent ringmaster Berlusconi. It's a world in which the lines between fantasy and reality have become strangely blurred. As a testament to its damning content the film's promo was blocked in Italy.

Now that Silvio Berlusconi has fallen on his sword – but not before making sure Italians suffer austerity – the globalists can make their move and insert one of their trusted minions: former EU Commissioner Mario Monti.
“Analysts are excited about the strong possibility that former EU Commissioner Mario Monti will head up a new national unity government in Italy,” reports Business Insider.
Goldman Sachs and the financial elite are pushing for “a government more amenable to reforms that encourage growth and improve governance… Markets would approve of this kind of coalition.
In other words, they are angling for the wholesale looting of the Italian economy and bankster privatization resulting in mass unemployment, wage cuts, pension thievery, and public services fire sales.
“Super Mario” Monti is a perfect choice to overlord the pillaging. He completed his graduate studies under James Tobin at Yale. Tobin was a Keynesian economist who served on the Council of Economic Advisors and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
It stands to reason that Goldman Sachs will lead the charge in the coming rape of Italy – Monti is Goldman’s international adviser.
He was the first chairman of Bruegel, the internationalist European think-tank that steers the globalist agenda for the EU. Monti is also the European Chairman of David Rockefeller’s Trilateral Commission and is also a leading member of the Bilderberg Group....
