A judge in the southern Italian city of Lecce ruled on Friday that there were no grounds to further pursue an investigation.

The ruling came weeks after Haggis, 69, was released from house arrest while prosecutors decided whether to pursue their investigation.

Haggis, who won two Academy awards for Crash and is also known for writing Million Dollar Baby, had been arrested on 19 June in Ostuni, in the southern region of Puglia, and spent 16 days under house arrest.
