Prosecutors: Berlusconi slept with teenager 13 times
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has been accused of paying for sex with an underage girl during an investigation against three of his aides, accused of procuring prostitutes for the premier.
ITALIAN PROSECUTORS SAY that the Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi paid for sex with an underage Moroccan teenager 13 times.
The accounting emerged in a seven-page document, which marked the closure of the investigation against three Berlusconi aides accused of procuring prostitutes for the premier.
Their case has been separated from Berlusconi’s, who faces trial on 6 April on charges of underage prostitution and using his influence to cover it up.
Both Berlusconi and the woman in question, Karima el-Mahroug, known by her nickname Ruby, have denied that they slept together.
The document filed on Tuesday seeking the indictments against the aides on charges of soliciting prostitution detail how the sex-fueled parties were organised: dinner, followed by erotic dancing and finally Berlusconi’s choice of a sex partner or partners.
