Women paid to have sex with Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi dressed in nurse and police uniforms and performed stripteases at parties, it was claimed today. The damaging allegations emerged in court documents which are part of a probe into Berlusconi, 74, looking at charges of extortion and using underaged prostitutes. Some women even put on a 'lesbian' show for him and his cronies.

Former dental hygienist Nicole Minetti, now a local politician representing his party, is named as a recruiter of the girls.

According to a telephone tap transcript in the paperwork, a former police officer is heard saying: 'Minetti was there with her chest out kissing Berlusconi continuously. It was a real whorehouse. All the girls were given rings and necklaces.'

Today as the sordid details dominated Italian newspapers and TV news bulletins, even the Catholic Church stepped in with the official newspaper Avvenire saying it was 'wounded and shocked.'

Minetti, a former showgirl, helped restore Berlusconi's smile - literally - after he was struck in the face at a political rally with a marble statue, breaking two of his teeth.

She was his dental hygienist, and she swiftly made the move into politics by joing his People Of Freedome party, scoring a seat in Lombardy's regional parliament.

For almost two years Berlusconi has been involved in a series of sleazy sex scandals but the latest revelations have been the worst yet as sordid details of his infamous 'bunga bunga' parties emerge.

The perma tanned politician regularly hosted parties at his residences in Milan, Rome and on the island of Sardinia at which high class escorts and wannabe TV starlets were guests.

In the 400-page document, it is claimed the girls would stroke themselves up and down Berlusconi and allow themselves to be touched, acting provocatively and vulgarly.

It went on to describe how there were wardrobes with varying uniforms which the women would put on to carry out stripteases and how they would dance seductively, semi-naked, lesbian style.
