Prosecutors are to ask for Italy's prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, to be put on trial because of his relationship with a teenager alleged to have been an underage prostitute.

"Tomorrow morning, we shall submit our requests in relation to the position of Silvio Berlusconi and put out a statement," Edmondo Bruti Liberati, the chief prosecutor of Milan, told reporters.

Later today, he and the three members of his department involved in the investigation will hold what he called "a conclusive meeting" to discuss which charges should be laid and how.
