Berlusconi and Ruby, the lying stripper

Fri, 24 May, 2013. Testifying as a witness at the a trial were three individuals are charged for favouring prostitution, Moroccan stripper Karima El Mahroug (aka Ruby the Heartstealer says she was “talking crap” when she gave away details of spicy parties at Silvio Berlusconi's villa."

Me a prostitute? If not a saint, I might be a nun!

Ruby Rubacuori (Italian for Heartstealer) appeared on the trial (which is already a news, she sometimes forget about it...) where former TV presenter (and Berlusconi's friend, at least before he got dramatically fired by Mediaset, in 2012) Emilio Fede, celebrity agent Lele Mora and Nicole Minetti, a former Lombardy local councillor, model and showgirl are accused of supplying prostitutes to Mr Berlusconi's so-called "bunga-bunga" festive evenings in his villa in Arcore. Nicole said she had been hanging around just because she was the one and only girlefriend of the media millionaire.

The “crap” included telling investigators in 2010 that she had exchanged phone numbers with Real Madrid’s footballer Cristiano Ronaldo (he was one of the witnesses summoned at the trial) at a restaurant. At the trial El Mahroug said the closest she had gotten to the former Manchester United star were advertising billboards around Milan that summer. She had not been paid to have sex with him, she added, and “I didn’t prostitute myself with a handsome guy like him, let alone with Berlusconi”. It makes sense, doesn't it?

PdL's protest against the judiciary.

Apparently, “all the stupid things” she had been telling to prosecutors in 2010, were also meant to spice up the hearings, that she found “boring”. You know, all that nonsense about Rolex watches, naked women bathing at Berlusconi's villa and other stories that might make your hairl curl. And what about the confessions she made to her fellow bunga-bunga army's (aka bunga-bunga girls) members and others? You know, like telling about having had sex with the PM of Italy, having received 187,000 euro ($241k or £159k), and so on?

She said she just “made it up” to show off.

The majority of the things she said simply “were not true”.

Might be yet another reason why still somebody think you're a ho – like prosecutor Ilda Boccassini –, and you are in the need of staging public protests and TV reports to state the contrary?

Closing states – and perhaps more fun – expected on 31 May, while on 24 June we hopefully get a verdict about Berlusconi's charges of having slept with Ruby Rubacuori when she was still a minor. The "twenty years' war" is lingering on...
