Italian premier 'could have women in large numbers for free', says representativeSilvio Berlusconi's lawyer has denied fresh allegations in the Italian media that women received money to attend parties at the prime minister's residences in Rome and Sardinia, saying Berlusconi did not need to pay for women."He does not need people to bring him women," Niccolò Ghedini told the newspaper Corriere della Sera. "It's seems a bit over the top to think that Berlusconi needs to pay €2,000 [£1,700] for a girl to go with him. I think he could have them in large numbers for free."Public prosecutors in the southern city of Bari said they were investigating whether payments allegedly made to at least four women by a local entrepreneur, Giampaolo Tarantini, to attend parties "in exclusive locations in Rome and Sardinia" constituted an "induction into prostitution".

An investigation in Bari broke today after a witness declared she had been paid to attend two evenings at Berlusconi's Rome residence recently. Patrizia D'Addario declares that she has proof of both encounters. She alleges that the first time she arrived at Palazzo Grazioli she found another twenty women in waiting and was not chosen that time to participate. The second party coincided with Barack Obama's election, a limper at the time for Mr. Berlusconi's fortunes.
