This is up on YouTube in several versions, and in the comments of all of them, I see several fascist propaganda warriors are shouting "fake - communist propaganda!"

(If the source is right, it's the trailer of the film Bye Bye Berlusconi with an actor.)

I've always known it as real. It's perfectly in keeping with the character-

-As well as denying it. Berlusconi always denies what he said- and has tapes censured for consumption of his grovelling mignons.

Not bad is Juncker patting him on the back of his head as he pretends to be a serious statesman. For that alone, Juncker should be our first European president.

Precious...

I checked again, according to this SPIEGEL article, the policewoman-assaulting video was one of three fake caught-on-camera scenes filmed for the trailer of the German satire Bye Bye Berlusconi from 2006. One of the other two was actually used (in which B. picks his nose in a restaurant), but all three ended up on the web, allegedly without knowledge of the filmmakers...

The story of the film is interesting, too: it was supposed to be a satire about Berlusconi directly (played by one Maurizio Antonini), with the story that terrorists kidnap B to stage a trial for him for all the crimes he evaded punishment for in real courts. But B's lawyers intervened. So they simply changed names: B became Topolino, mayor of Entenhausen ( = Duckville).
