Italy PM's 'night with prostitute'
An Italian news magazine has said it has tape recordings of the night Premier Silvio Berlusconi spent with a prostitute in which the premier is heard asking her to wait for him in bed while he showers.
The escort, Patrizia D'Addario, said she taped her two encounters with Mr Berlusconi at parties he threw for young women at his residence that have become the source of scandal.
The left-leaning L'Espresso put the recordings on its website on Monday. Mr Berlusconi is allegedly heard chatting with D'Addario about a bed in his residence.
A spokesman for Mr Berlusconi's party did not deny the recordings were accurate and said L'Espresso was merely trying to revive an "already dead" scandal.
