Washington, July 02 (ANI): British supermodel Naomi Campbell could be jailed for up to 7 years if she refuses to give evidence in an ongoing trial of ex-President of Liberia, Charles Taylor.
An international court subpoenaed Campbell to testify in the war crimes trial of Taylor, warning her that she could be jailed for up to seven years if she refuses to show up.
The Special Court for Sierra Leone ordered Campbell forcing her to testify after she avoided prosecutors for a year and made it clear that she had no plans of being a part of the case.
The 40-year-old model was ordered to appear in a Hague court on July 29 at 9 am or to show an authentic reason why she could not comply with this subpoena, reports Fox News.
Refusal of the summon may lead to prosecution for contempt, which carries a maximum seven-year prison sentence along with a fine of 2 million Sierra Leone leones, or about 510 dollars, according to the subpoena released by the court. (ANI)
