(REMY DE LA MAUVINIERE/AP FILE PHOTO)ROME–The prostitute at the centre of Premier Silvio Berlusconi's sex scandal claims in a new book that she feels betrayed and has been frightened by strange threats, including the ransacking of her home, since revealing she tape-recorded their purported bedroom encounter.
Patrizia D'Addario, in a memoir titled Gradisca, Presidente (At Your Pleasure, Prime Minister), describes a party held at Berlusconi's Rome residence, and gives intimate details of her night alone with the 73-year-old premier, in a bed given to him by Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
The 42-year-old beauty writes she slept with Berlusconi on the understanding he would help her set up a countryside inn, but she got "nothing" in return.
She describes how Berlusconi surrounded himself at the party with a "harem" of young women, whom he cuddled and kissed.
"Being an escort, I thought I'd seen lots of things, but not this: 20 girls for just one man," she writes. "Here, the other men had no say. There was just one man with the right to copulate: the prime minister."
During their night together, D'Addario says she was taken aback by Berlusconi's stamina, especially given his history of prostate cancer. "He didn't appear a bit tired, he kissed me again and again and again," she claims.
The prime minister's office said it had no comment to make on the publication of the book.
Berlusconi has said he has never paid for sex and is the victim of someone seeking to create a scandal, while acknowledging he is "no saint."
D'Addario says she had sex with Berlusconi hoping he would use his considerable influence to help her open an inn in her home region in southern Italy, a longtime ambition of hers that had been stymied by Italy's bureaucracy.
Instead "I gave him my body, he (gave me) nothing."
In the memoir, D'Addario says that since the existence of the tape recording became known, she has been the subject of threats, aggression and other "strange episodes," including the looting of her home.
"They take away everything, from panties to dresses, from stockings to bras, from jewellery to shoes, from CDs to my diaries, my address book, the computer," she writes of that episode. "They only leave me a very expensive TV. Now I am really frightened."
D'Addario says she reported the break-in to local police.
