MILAN (Reuters) - Milan prosecutors on Thursday asked that four-time Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi stand trial for bribing witnesses in a court case in which he was acquitted of paying for sex with an underage Moroccan dancer.

In a statement, prosecutors said the accused are suspected of corrupting judicial proceedings, giving false testimony, and money laundering during two trials concerning lavish parties at Berlusconi's villa near Milan.
