A cop testified in court that women present at former Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi's parties dressed raunchily including as Father Christmas

Girlsu00a0who attended Silvio Berlsuconi's raunchy parties dressed up as Father Christmas, a policeman has testified at the trial of the former Italian prime minister for allegedly having sex with an underage prostitute.u00a0Investigator Giorgio Bertoli said he had viewed photos featuring "mutual effusions" between the girls, some of whom also dressed up as policewomen.

Moroccan-born Karima El Mahroug was 17 when she first met Berlusconi.u00a0The age of consent in Italy is 14 and having sex with a prostitute is not illegal but paying for sex with a girl who is under 18 is a crime.

If convicted, Berlusconi faces a maximum sentence of three years in prison on that charge and 12 years for abuse of power after he allegedly put pressure on the police to have El-Mahroug released from custody in an unrelated case.

Thirty-three women who allegedly attended the parties have been called as witnesses by the prosecution and the defence has said it wants to call George Clooney and Cristiano Ronaldo to discreditu00a0El-Mahroug's testimony.u00a0El-Mahroug told investigators she had met Hollywood heartthrob Clooney at one of Berlusconi's parties and had also slept with Real Madrid football star Ronaldo for money.u00a0

The two men both deny the claims.u00a0Italian media earlier quoted an attendee saying that one of the women once did a striptease in a nurse's costume as Berlusconi held up a crucifix.u00a0Two other attendees said they had witnessed topless girls performing oral sex on a statue during erotic games around the dinner table.

Ruby's Mubarak granddaughter claims
Silvio Berlusconi believed Karima el Mahroug when she told him she was the granddaughter of then Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. His lawyers insisted he was convinced by the story and intervened to have the woman released from a theft charge because he feared her detention could cause a diplomatic incident between the two countries.u00a0
