Italy prosecutors have opened an investigation into the death of a Moroccan model who testified in one of the inquiries linked to ex-Premier Silvio Berlusconi's"bunga bunga" parties. Citing Milan prosecutor Francesco Greco, Italian news agency ANSA reported that Imane Fadil died March 1 at a Milan hospital, where she had been treated since Jan.
Berlusconi was initially convicted of charges that he paid for sex with an underage woman at the sex-fueled"bunga bunga" parties, and used his influence to cover it up. He was ultimately acquitted by Italy's highest court in 2015.But he added:"I've never known this person and never spoke to her. What I read were her declarations that made me always think these were always invented and absurd things.
Late last year, lawyers for one of Berlusconi's co-defendants in the witness tampering trial began negotiations to settle the women's claims, ANSA reported at the time. But by January, the Milan court had thrown out their claims altogether. Two weeks later, Fadil was hospitalized.
