Woman at centre of Berlusconi sex trial hits out

The Moroccan woman at the centre of ex-Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi’s sex-for-hire trial has denounced what she says is psychological warfare being waged against her by prosecutors.

Karima el-Mahroug, better known as Ruby, read out a lengthy statement today to reporters in front of Milan’s courthouse denying she was a prostitute and insisting that prosecutors hear her side of the story.
