London, June 26 : The sex scandal plaguing Silvio Berlusconi took a fresh turn yesterday after a Bari escort girl gave more details of her first meeting with the Italian PM, saying: "It felt like a harem. And there was only one sheikh. Him."

The 72-year-old faced mounting pressure to confess about his private life after revelations that he entertained about 20 women until dawn during a private party at his house in Rome, reports The Times.

Patrizia D'Addario, who claims to have recorded footage that proves her encounters with the Prime Minister, also spoke of the "strange burglary" in which her underwear, computer and the dress she wore to the party were allegedly stolen from her home days after she told a friend of the secret recordings.

It is said that the video recordings show D'Addario in the Prime Minister's bedroom.

Berlusconi has blasted allegations surrounding the sex scandal as rubbish, and insisted during an interview earlier this week that he had nothing to be ashamed of.

The billionaire is embroiled in a host of scandals from his links to an aspiring teenage model, Noemi Letizia, 18, to a messy and potentially expensive divorce from his wife of 20 years, Veronica Lario.

D''Addario told last week that she had gone twice to Berlusconi''s Rome residence on the promise of earning 1,700 pounds. (ANI)
