Baku â€“ APA. American Actress Mia Farrow testified Monday at the war crimes trial of former Liberian President Charles Taylor, APA reports quoting â€œThe Voice of Americaâ€.
She told the court at The Hague that supermodel Naomi Campbell claimed in1997 to have been given a large diamond by Mr. Taylor after a dinner party hosted by Nelson Mandela. However, Farrowâ€™s testimony contradicts Campbellâ€™s own evidence given last week.
The court questioned actress Mia Farrow about the events surrounding a dinner party hosted by Nelson Mandela in 1997.
The morning after the party, she said, fellow guest Naomi Campbell told her that Charles Taylor had sent her a diamond in the night.
"She (Naomi Campbell) said that in the night she had been awakened, some men were knocking at the door, and they had been sent by Charles Taylor, and they had given her a huge diamond," Mia Farrow said.

Campbellâ€™s former agent Carole White also testified Monday. She told the court that Mr. Taylor had promised Campbell the diamonds over dinner.
