Dancing girls to testify in Berlusconi sex trial

Models and showgirls will spill the truth about bunga-bunga orgies

Models and showgirls will testify in Milan today about what really happened at Silvio Berlusconi's infamous 'bunga bunga' parties.

Prosecutors for the case are hoping 'the girls parade', as the witnesses have been branded by the Italian media, will help prove the former prime minister had paid for sex with a Moroccan belly dancer when she was just 17.

Other witnesses to take the stand include Miss Italy contestants Ambra Battilana and Chiara Danese, who were invited to the billionaire media tycoon's Villa San Martino near Milan in August 2010. They were both 18 at the time and hoping to become weather girls.

They claim Berlusconi repeatedly touched their bottoms and enjoyed naked pole dances as women danced and stripped for him in 'the bunga-bunga room' after dinner.

Though the girls were reluctant to join in, Berlusconi urged them to get involved saying: 'Come on, undress them...undress them...dance.'

The 75 year-old media tycoon has rejected the claims branding them 'disgusting' and insisting his parties were 'elegant dinner parties.'

He claims he has never paid for sex. If convicted he could be jailed for up to six years and banned from holding public office.
