The woman alleged to have had sex for money with Silvio Berlusconi when she was just 17 and he was the Prime Minister testified in court for the first time onFriday at a trial of three people accused of pimping for the billionaire tycoon.
Karima El-Mahroug described “sensual” soirees in a discotheque at Berlusconi’s villa that invitees called the “bunga bunga”, saying she was paid €2,000 or 3,000 ($2,600 or $3,900) a night.
The woman, better known by her nickname Ruby the Heart Stealer, said she saw up to 20 girls stripping for the Prime Minister but had never seen physical “contact” between the host and the young women.
El-Mahroug said Berlusconi would call her up to invite her and she would sometimes stay the night. She has said in the past that she never had sex with the host.
