PanARMENIAN.Net - A court has begun a trial against Britain's Duchess
of York for allegedly taking part in the secret filming of orphanages
in the country.
As The Associated Press reports citing Turkey's state-run Anadolu
Agency, Sarah Ferguson, who is being tried in absentia, faces charges
of going "against the law in acquiring footage and violating privacy"
of five children. If convicted, she could receive a maximum sentence
of 22 1/2 years in prison. The trial began Friday, May 4.
Ferguson, the former wife of Britain's Prince Andrew, allegedly made
an undercover trip to Turkey in 2008 during which two state-run
orphanages outside Ankara were secretly filmed for the British ITV
program "Duchess and Daughters: Their Secret Mission."
Anadolu quoted Ferguson's lawyer Cansu Sahin as saying the duchess is
seeking an out-of-court settlement.
