 | | David Mills, husband of the culture secretary, Tessa Jowell, was last night at the centre of a political storm in Italy after it was reported that prosecutors had alleged that he took a bribe of "not less than $600,000" from the prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, to provide false evidence. |
 | | Seven months earlier, it had been reported that Mr Mills and Mr Berlusconi were under investigation, suspected of corruption and perjury in connection with the case. |
 | | Mr Mills, formerly Mr Berlusconi's legal adviser, told the Guardian the claim was "complete and utter nonsense". |
