Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and British lawyer David Mills have been ordered to stand trial on corruption charges, Berlusconi's lawyer Nicolo Ghedini said today.
Milan magistrates had accused Berlusconi of paying Mills - the estranged husband of British Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell - a kickback of $600,000 for not revealing details of Berlusconi's media empire when he testified in two court cases.
Both men have denied wrongdoing.
