Italy court accuses Berlusconi of bribing witnesses

An Italian court has accused Silvio Berlusconi of bribing witnesses to give false testimony. His lawyers deny it.

The claims came in a trial of three associates charged with procuring prostitutes for parties at his home.

The ex prime minister was convicted in June of paying for sex with an underage prostitute, despite his and the former dancer’s denials.
