MILAN (AP) — The Moroccan woman at the center of a sex scandal involving former Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi has testified that a young woman attending one of Berlusconi’s “bunga bunga” parties dressed up like a nun, danced provocatively and stripped down to her underwear.
Karima el-Mahroug took the witness stand today in the trial of three former Berlusconi aides charged with recruiting her and other women for prostitution.
The trial is separate from one in which Berlusconi himself is charged with paying for sex with a minor and trying to cover it up.
