Chares of sexual violence against
film director Fausto Brizzi were dropped on Wednesday.
A Rome preliminary investigations judge rejected suits from
alleged victims of the Roman director, his lawyer told ANSA.
The lawyer said "the case relating to the scandal of
molestation opened by the (investigative TV show) Le Iene has
been definitively closed."
Last July Rome prosecutors requested that the probe into
alleged sexual abuse by Brizzi be dropped.
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".
