Paper releases Berlusconi 'tapes' (BBC) {made by 'escort'}

[eppur_se_muova]

An Italian newspaper has released audio recordings and transcripts of what it says was a night Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi spent with an escort.

Patrizia D'Addario told L'Espresso she had made the tapes during a visit to Mr Berlusconi's official Rome residence.

In one conversation, a man can be heard telling a woman to wait for him in "Putin's" bed after having a shower.

Mr Berlusconi has not denied Ms D'Addario attended a party at his home, but insists he did not pay for sex.

A spokesman for the 72-year-old's political grouping, People of Freedom, said L'Espresso was merely trying to revive an "already dead" scandal.
