Cartoon characters as court witnesses

A court in Italy has ordered Tweety, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Daisy Duck to testify for a counterfeiting case. The trial is for criminal charges against a Chinese man accused of selling counterfeited Warner Bros and Disney products. Lawyers think that its just a clerical error by the court, who summoned the characters instead of the companies and their respective representatives. Disneyland officials found the summons amusing. Fiorenza Sorotto, vice president of Disney Company Italia, joked that "Unfortunately they cannot show up, as they are residents of Disneyland".
