...Published on the website of the opposition weekly L'Espresso, the tapes apparently feature several conversations that Patrizia D'Addario says she secretly taped with Berlusconi before, during and after the night they spent together at the Prime Minister's private residence in Rome. Berlusconi has said he doesn't recall D'Addario and has denied ever paying for sex. Giampaolo Tarantini, the Bari entrepreneur under investigation for alleged prostitution and corruption, maintains his innocence, saying he brought attractive women to the Prime Minister's residences only to make a good impression. (See pictures of Berlusconi at the recent...
...Italians have feasted on the salacious details of the Prime Minister's alleged dalliances for weeks. But hearing what D'Addario and L'Espresso says is the voice of the 72-year-old Prime Minister may make it harder for the public to believe his version of events. A male voice, which sounds like Berlusconi, speaks intimately with the woman, telling her to wait in the "big bed" - apparently a reference to a gift from Vladimir Putin - while he goes to take a shower.

She remarks that the Prime Minister had promised to help her resolve a local building-permit problem and that he wanted to see her again. "He said he has a girlfriend who he wants to have lick me," D'Addario tells Tarantini over the phone on Nov. 5, according to the L'Espresso tapes. When the Bari businessman laughs, D'Addario swears that those were...
...June 17, one of the women, Patrizia D'Addario, told the Milan daily Corriere della Sera that she was paid several thousand euros to attend two dinner parties at Berlusconi's Rome residence last fall and that she stayed the night of Nov. 4. She says she secretly made audio recordings during the parties, which she turned over to prosecutors. Two days later, a friend of D'Addario's, Barbara Montereale, told newspaper La Repubblica that she, too, was paid to attend the Nov. 4 party, but left after dinner. Montereale described her friend as a professional escort...
