Travolta to appear as witness in extortion trial

ACTOR John Travolta is among the potential witnesses at a Bahamas trial beginning today for two people accused of trying to extort $25 million (€17m) from the movie star, court officials say.

An ambulance driver and a former Bahamas senator allegedly targeted Travolta after his chronically ill son died in the Bahamas.

They are accused of demanding money in exchange for not publicising a document related to 16-year-old Jett Travolta’s treatment.
