Prostitute explains 'sex deal' with Berlusconi

The prostitute at the centre of Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi's sex scandal claims she slept with him believing he would help her set up a countryside inn but she got "nothing" in return.

Patrizia D'Addario, whose memoirs went on sale today in Italy, writes she feels betrayed and has been frightened by strange threats, including the ransacking of her home, since she revealed this year that she had tape-recorded her purported bedroom encounter with Mr Berlusconi.
