Berlusconi Gave Me $14K 'Present': Escort

Share

(Newser) – Silvio Berlusconi is facing further pressure to resign after a 23-year-old revealed she had received a $14,000 "present" from the Italian PM after attending a party, reports the Times of London. The woman also says that Patrizia D'Addario, the escort at the center of the growing prostitution scandal, told her she and Berlusconi had sex. The two women had been invited to the politician's home by a fixer currently under investigation for corruption and abetting prostitution.

You know, the Romans had a great government. I mean, they did still horrible crap like this (but less publicly, I think), but they got things done. Now it's really lazy and ineffectual. What happened? Did a general malaise just fall over everyone? Reply

That's a new twist - an Italian Millionaire screwing hookers. Could this be the start of a trend. Reply
