Oscar-winning filmmaker Paul Haggis has been detained in Italy over allegations of sexual assault and aggravated personal injury, according to a statement from local prosecutors and his legal team.
The 69-year-old Canadian-born director and screenwriter, who won two Oscars for the 2004 crime drama "Crash," was in the country to attend a film festival that begins Tuesday in Ostuni, a tourist town in the southern Italian region of Puglia.
Public prosecutors in the nearby town of Brindisi said in a statement Sunday that they issued a warrant for the detention of a "70-year-old" Canadian man identified as "P.H.," who was staying in Ostuni.
