SANTIAGO, Chile — SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) - Chilean talk show host Mario Kreutzberger denied Tuesday that he had anything to do with an alleged attempt to bribe a laboratory worker into altering the DNA results in his paternity case.

"I've never bribed anybody," said Kreutzberger, better known as Don Francisco, host of the Sabado Gigante show.

Kreutzberger, 70, has suspended the popular show, broadcast from Miami all over the Spanish-speaking world, in order to defend himself in court in Chile. He spoke briefly on arrival at the airport and said he couldn't take questions until he's had a chance to speak with the authorities involved.

Both Kreutzberger and a 43-year-old Chilean man who claims to be his son have submitted to court-ordered DNA tests by Chile's Medical Legal Service, which is respected for its DNA work in human rights cases.

DNA test rules out Don Francisco in paternity case

SANTIAGO, Chile—A DNA test shows no match between TV's Don Francisco and a Chilean man claiming to be the talk show host's son, an attorney said Wednesday.

The 70-year-old entertainer, whose real name is Mario Kreutzberger, had left Miami where he usually hosts the "Sabado Gigante" show on Univision to go to Chile to deal with the claims against him.

Lawyer Santiago Montenegro said that a DNA test indicates Kreutzberger is not the father of Patricio Flores Mundaca. But the attorney, who represents the plaintiff's siblings, says he may seek more DNA tests.

A prosecutor, meanwhile, is investigating an allegation that someone tried to bribe a lab worker to alter the DNA results on the TV host's behalf. Kreutzberger says he had nothing to do with any such attempt.
