ROME (AP) — A self-described escort has said Premier Silvio Berlusconi personally invited her to two parties at his villas where young, foreign women were plentiful.
Nadia Macri told Sky TG24 Sunday that she believed many of the women were minors, but didn’t know for sure since they didn’t talk among themselves.
Macri is the latest woman to recount evenings spent at Berlusconi’s villas — allegations that have fueled a political crisis that has brought the government to a no-confidence vote in two weeks.
Italian newspapers have published transcripts of Macri’s testimony to prosecutors in which she said Berlusconi paid her 10,000 for sexual favors at the parties.
Berlusconi attorney Niccolo Ghedini said Macri’s comments were “devoid of any foundation.”
