An Italian court has named Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Tweety and Mickey Mouse as witnesses in a counterfeiting trial .

The court summons cites Titti, Paperino, Paperina, Topolino — the Italian names for the characters — as damaged parties in the criminal trial of a Chinese man accused of counterfeiting products of Disney and Warner Bros.


While the story summons jokes of all levels– “I didn’t say she was crazy, your honor, I said she was fuckin’ Goofy!”–alas, it is just a clerical error. Instead of writing down the companies as witnesses, a clerk wrote down the names of the characters. That is fortunate, because it is unlikely Disney would have allowed Mickey and Donald to be extradited for the trial.
