Berlusconi rubbishes ‘Ruby’ sex allegations

ITALIAN Premier Silvio Berlusconi yesterday dismissed as “media trash” reports that two television executives helped introduce an underage girl into his entourage.

It’s the second time in as many years that Berlusconi has been linked to a purported prostitute scandal.

Leading daily Corriere della Sera said yesterday that a news director from Berlusconi’s Mediaset empire and a TV impresario had been placed under investigation for allegedly aiding and abetting prostitution involving a 17-year-old Moroccan runaway named Ruby.
