BARI Italy (Reuters) - An Italian prosecutor has asked a court to try Silvio Berlusconi for paying 750,000 euros (596,310 pounds) to buy the silence of people aware that he used prostitutes, legal sources said on Friday.

Pasquale Drago, a prosecutor in the southern city of Bari wants the court to try the 77-year-old centre-right leader and an accomplice for "inducement to give false testimony" by paying a local businessman not to tell investigators about the prostitutes he allegedly provided for Berlusconi's parties.
