Moroccan model Imane Fadil, left, and an unidentified companion arrive at a Milan court to testify in Silvio Berlusconi's trial.

A witness in the trial of former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi testified that she saw strippers at his infamous "bunga bunga" parties performing while dressed as nuns, Italian media reported.

Morrocan model Imane Fadil, 27, testified in a Milan court on Monday. Berlusconi, 75, is on trial for paying an underage prostitute and abusing his power to have the young woman released from police custody.


Fadil told the court she was given about $2,600 the first time she attended one of Berlusconi's parties, the BBC reported. She told the court how at one such party she watched two women wearing black monastic garb perform for the former prime minister, then strip to their underwear.

Fadil alleged one of these women was Nicole Minetti, who is now an important member of Berlusconi's People of Freedom Party in Milan, BBC reported.

Fadil is one of several women who decided to testify in Berlusconi's trial.

According to The Guardian, Fadil claims she never spent the night following a "bunga bunga" party, but that the women who did were compensated more for sex.

"The girls complained they were afraid of diseases," Fadil said. "But they all competed to stay because whoever stayed earned a lot more."

After being caught in the confessional in 8th grade with Linda, we had to have a talk with the nun. After awhile we just came right out and said she had no experience so how does she say it was wrong. Talked more, I told her all the guys thought she was the prettiest nun and said we all thought that was a waste her being a nun. Well she got to thinking...several weeks later she quit because she missed out being a teen.The principal(nun) blamed it on Linda and me saying we were the devil. The priest came over and talked to us both and later I had a talk with him again where I told him everyone knew he was making it with the blonde divorcee as the house keeper told parents. He quit the priesthood several weeks later.

Short story long...Nuns are people too...but don't trust a priest!

          Sela vie---let it happen. Bersculoni has an imaginative sexual mind. Who cares---anything goes in Europe, the land of where nothing is bad re: devious sexual behavior--the wives do not care, so why should any one else. He could probably teach many new approaches to having fun.

          Wonder if he has to repent to the Pope. Not possible. They have their own problems that haven't been fixed, or admonished with children, including ones who have become adults..

          90% of guys dream of something like this from the time of their first wet dream until they are laid to rest - and 90% of women dream of running with the "bad boys". So you 10%ers, we don't want Nun of your lip, got it?

            Nuns are a common motif in the Italian adult-film industry, and relatively common in the rest of the world's pr0n as well. Hardly find this surprising. It's hot because it IS scandalous, that's sort of the point. It's the most popular in Italy for obvious reasons.

                    Totally disagree. Burlesconi is a public official who destroyed the country and nearly brought down Europe because he was more interested in sex than public service. Journalism is doing us a service to see how bad this man was, especially since it's US retirement accounts that are being used to fund the European bailout process.

                          I doubt it, too. There was no report of child-rape, so it's doubtful the Catholic Church was involved.

                                    strippers are phonies undressed while nuns are phonies dressed. there's no difference but the appearance.

                                    Nuns are part of Catholic clergy, operating much like monks (no martial arts). They are supposed to be monastic in behavior (that involves chastity, discipline, and stuff like that). Strippers are the opposite in the sense that they entertain people by taking off their clothes in a "dance" (if it can be called that, which I doubt).

The first place that will go up in flames when the second coming begins will be VATICAN and surrounding areas. Only satan himself would love to see hookers dressed as nuns so as to spit in the face of our savior Jesus Christ. I hope someone brings a cross to the court to see this guy scream and turn into dust in front of cameras for the world to see.

                                        Well wait a minute, if Satan's in charge of the vatican then nuns are evil, so a stripper dressing up as one isn't really spitting in Jesus' face...

                                        MSNBC and the Secret Service "cares" - they had to run this story to distract some attention.

                                        the vatican is the seat of satan on earth...read daniel 2

                                        in my way of thinking...and alot of other non-brainwashed, intelligent people, at least 75% of the children in catholic orphanages are by-products of sex between priests and nuns.

                                        vicarivs filii dei...assign the roman numeral value to each letter = 666 (vicarivs filii dei is the "legitimate" name of the pope---if anything of the vatican is or could be "legitimate") see revelations 13:18

                                        the BuyBull is an unprovable, mythical cult book. reading from it, quoting from it, doesn't make it real.

                                        cheers!
