In yet another bizarre twist in former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi’s ongoing underage sex trial, a young woman who attended ‘bunga bunga’ parties at his house, claims she once dressed up as a burlesque version of President Obama as part of the entrainment. Berlusconi is being accused of paying for sex with teen prostitutes. Reuters reports:

ROME, May 25 (Reuters) – One of the young women who attended Silvio Berlusconi’s “bunga bunga” parties told a court on Friday that she dressed up as a burlesque version of U.S. President Barack Obama to entertain the former Italian prime minister.

In testimony during a trial against the 75-year-old Berlusconi on charges of paying for sex with an underage prostitute, Marysthell Polanco said she had also dressed as prosecutor Ilda Boccassini.

Boccassini, known as “Ilda the Red” because of her hair colour and what Berlusconi says is her communist political sympathies, is one of the prosecutors in the ongoing trial.
