Silvio Berlusconi 'invited lapdancers to his hotel' during state visit to Brazil - Telegraph

The 73-year-old Italian leader reportedly watched a private exhibition of lap and pole dancing on Monday during a trip which included meetings with Brazilian businessmen and the country’s president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

The women were reportedly paid around euro 1000 and promised jobs as showgirls and starlets on Italian television channels owned by Mr Berlusconi.

The prime minister’s office admitted that he had been entertained by a group of performers, but classified the show as a “typically Brazilian folklore spectacle”. But one of the dancers, Alexandra Valenca, 28, said her performance in front of the billionaire prime minister included an erotic lap dance.

She said she and the other women were invited to attend a dinner in the presidential suite of the Hotel Tivoli São Paulo Mofarrej with Mr Berlusconi on Monday, the second day of his two-day trip.
