The Daily Telegraph reported that Berlusconi is already accused of paying for sex with teenage nightclub dancer called Ruby the Heartbreaker.

Brazilian showgirl Iris Berardi was under age when she went to Berlusconi’s summer villa in Sardinia in November 2009 and his palazzo near Milan a month later, believe prosecutors.

At the time of the alleged encounters, Berardi would have been 17.

The media report said that one of the women being investigated may be turning against the prime minister.

Twentyfive-year-old Nicole Minetti, whom Berlusconi helped to enter politics as a regional councillor in Lombardy, was recorded two weeks ago as calling him “a piece of ****” and “an old man” who had ruined her life and “is trying to save his own flabby ****.”

Minetti in another intercepted phone call told former Playboy model Barbara Faggioli that Italian politics was “a mess” and warned that “if he (Berlusconi) goes down, we all go down.”

Investigators have stumbled upon Berardi’s appointments diary in which she listed several meetings with Berlusconi, whom she referred to as “Papi” or Daddy. However, there were no specific mention of sex.

She has jotted down eight occasions on which she was paid 2,000 euros last year.

A 227-page dossier submitted to a parliamentary committee Wednesday by prosecutors contains explosive details about Berlusconi and his friends being entertained by showgirls desperate to advance their careers, the media report said.

Maria Makdoum, a belly dancer, has described “bunga bunga” parties that she went to in June 2010.

A friend of Berlusconi asked her whether she wanted to “become part of his harem”.

She claimed that she went to several private dinners that would end with Berlusconi asking the guests: “Now let’s do the bunga bunga.”

He explained that “it was a sexual thing”, she said.

She said that as she did a belly dance, Berlusconi allegedly “touched the intimate parts” of two twin show girls and reality show contestants who were dressed “only in their pants and bras”.

“Then the Brazilian girl, who was wearing a thong, danced an X-rated version of the samba.”

“The prime minister touched her breasts and her intimate parts. I was horrified. If I had known what went on there, I wouldn’t have gone,” said Makdoum.
