(ANSA) - BRINDISI, 22 JUN - He can repeat the crime and pollute the evidence: this is why the Oscar-winning director Paul Haggis must remain under house arrest in Ostuni.
After more than six hours in the council chamber, the investigating judge of the Court of Brindisi Vilma Gilli did not validate the arrest due to lack of the danger of escape, but applied the precautionary measure for sexual violence against a 30-year-old Englishwoman against the 69-year-old Canadian writer.
In this morning's interrogation, Haggis had answered all the questions by declaring himself innocent.
The judge did not recognize the crime of personal injury.
