Three-time ex-premier and media mogul
Silvio Berlusconi had sex slaves at orgies at his villa outside
Milan where he had sex with a teenager Moroccan runaway and
exotic dancer named Ruby the Heartstealer, one of the several
trials that stemmed from the Ruby case heard Wednesday.
A number of the young women who attended the parties . which
Berlusconi called elegant and innocent affairs - are on trial in
the Ruby #3 case with the former premier over alleged bribes to
make them keep mum about the true nature of the soirees.
Berlusconi was acquitted in the original trial because judges
ruled he could not have known Ruby was only 17 when he paid for
sex with her.
"The facts have been handed down to History by now: the serving
premier was wont to systematically spice up his evening
entertainments hosting in his home groups of odalisques, paid
sex slaves," said prosecutor Tiziana Siciliano in her summing
up, arguing that the so-called 'Olgetta Girls' (from their
Milanese apartment block bankrolled by Berlusconi) were paid off
by the centre-right Forza Italia leader.
Siciliano also said that a witness who died of a rare disease in
2019, Moroccan-Italian model Imane Fadil, "was afraid, a fear
that went with her to her death, a fear that the milieu that
accompanied her to her death was really dangerous and powerful".
The prosecutor also told the court that the lengthy duration of
the trial, eight years, "means the (justice) system has failed".
