LAS VEGAS, Dec. 19 (UPI) -- Federal agents in Las Vegas reportedly questioned George Clooney, Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci in a racketeering investigation of a strip club.
Crazy Horse Too owner Rick Rizzolo has been under investigation, and his attorney Tony Sgro told the New York Daily News the agents have been trying to make his client's celebrity friends "nervous in order to cause those friendships to end."
"To suggest that any of those friends know anything with regard to the Crazy Horse is absurd," Sgro said.
Clooney met Rizzolo during the filming of a scene at the Crazy Horse for "Ocean's 11" while De Niro reportedly once visited the club during the filming of "Casino."
"He wouldn't know Rizzolo from Adam," a De Niro friend said.
A source told the Daily News that Pesci was questioned about "what he saw at the Crazy Horse -- anything in terms of drugs, prostitution, violence."
Rizzolo has been under investigation for nearly a decade for alleged tax violations and reputed ties to organized crime, the Daily News said.
