Anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) founder and stand-up comedian Beppe Grillo was on Wednesday sent to trial starting June 13 for allegedly attacking the Italian TV journalist Francesco Selvi.
News of the indictment came a day after the comedian-turned-politician was placed under investigation in a separate case, regarding suspected influence peddling over advertising contracts in 2018-19 with the Moby shipping company, led by his longtime friend and ship-owner Vincenzo Onorato.
