Hollywood superstar George Clooney’s model girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis is being investigated on drugs charges, after the arrest of a witness who claims to have seen her snorting cocaine in a nightclub.
The Italian model-actress, has become embroiled in the scandal, after a fellow-model claimed that she saw Canalis snorting the drug twice at Milan nightspot The Club in 2007, reported Radar online.
The claims were revealed by Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, which has obtained copies of the prosecutor’s documents. “I remember taking cocaine with Elisabetta Canalis and two others,” Karima Menad told legal officials. “We were in The Club and it was December 2007. We had been at a party of some famous, rich celebrity whose name I cannot remember. I don’t remember who brought the drugs but we all took it,” said Menad. The legal testimony emerged after prosecutors used it as part of a request to take the owners of the nightclub into custody. The police also seized and shut down the club in the crackdown, and put five bosses under house arrest. Canalis is currently holidaying with Clooney at his Italian villa, amid rumours they are about to tie the knot.
