Italian ex-PM Silvio Berlusconi 'hosted nun strippers'
A witness at the trial of Silvio Berlusconi has said strippers dressed as nuns performed for the former Italian prime minister at a party.
Model Imane Fadil said she had been given 2,000 euros (£1,650; $2,614) by Mr Berlusconi the first time she attended a "bunga bunga" party.
She was one of several women who arrived at a Milan courthouse on Monday to testify in Mr Berlusconi's trial.
He is accused of paying for sex with an underage nightclub dancer.
The woman, Moroccan-born Karima el-Mahroug, was 17 when she allegedly had sex with the prime minister.
He is also accused of abusing his powers by getting police to release Ms Mahroug - better known by her stage name Ruby The Heart Stealer - from jail when she was arrested for stealing.

Ms Fadil told the court she had attended several parties at Mr Berlusconi's villa outside Milan.
She alleges that the first night she went, she saw two young women in nun costumes stripping for the prime minister. One, she said, was Nicole Minetti, now a regional councillor for Berlusconi's People of Freedom party in Milan.
