Ruby, the nightclub dancer at the center of a sex scandal involving Italian Prime Minister, described for the judges the “Bunga Bunga” parties at the home of Silvio Berlusconi.
“We were having dinner, and after that, we were descending into a downstairs room, where Bunga Bunga began,” said teenager Karima El Mahroug, alias Rubacuore Ruby (Ruby, thief of hearts), in statements published by the leftist newspaper La Repubblica.
“The girls were all naked and had the impression that there was a rivalry between them, sexual gestures becoming more daring to draw Berlusconi’s attention,” she added.
Ruby is at the origin of the judicial procedures set to begin on April 6 against Silvio Berlusconi, accused of sexual relations with a minor prostitute – she was 18 during the celebrations of the luxurious villa in Arcore, near Milan – and abuse of power, because he spoke in favor of her release, after she was arrested for stealing.
According to the Prosecutor’s Office, Berlusconi wanted to prevent her to disclose to the police a paid sexual relationship that she had with him. His lawyers argue that he was just trying to avoid a diplomatic incident, in the believe that Ruby was a granddaughter of President Hosni Mubarak.
The voluptuous young Moroccan has described her first meeting, February 2010, with Silvio Berlusconi, at his house.
“Berlusconi explained to her that Bunga Bunga was a stylish harem inspired by his friend Muammar Kadhafi, the Lybian chief of state: the girls undress and provide sexual gratification.
“Berlusconi brought me into his office and told me that my life could entirely change if I participate in Bunga Bunga,”.
The young dancer argues that, in the beginning, she refused to participate, and accepted the second time in March, but with her clothes on.
“No, I have not been stripped for sexual exhibition. I was the only girl with clothes on and to kept myself busy, by bringing the Prime Minister Berlusconi “Sanbitter”, a non-alcoholic drink popular in Italy.
