Silvio Berlusconi: “I made love with eight women in one night.”

Silvio Berlusconi, the 74 year-old Italian Prime Minister has boasted of sleeping with eight women in one night.

Silvio Berlusconi made the claim in a bugged phone chat with businessman Giampaolo Tarantini, who allegedly recruited escort girls for Italian Prime Minister wild parties.

“Yesterday evening there was a queue outside my door,” said Berlusconi.

“There were 11. I had eight because I couldn’t go any further. You can’t do all of them.”

The Silvio Berlusconi and Tarantini phone chat was in 2009 on New Year’s Day.

Silvio Berlusconi added: “I feel good this morning . . . the things you have to do on New Year’s Eve.”

According to Italians, if you make love on New Year’s Eve, you will make love for the whole year.

The recording comes from 100,000 wire taps and bugged phone chats in a judicial investigation into eight people who allegedly supplied escort girls for Silvio Berlusconi’s parties.

Escort Maria Teresa De Nicolo, 38, claims she slept with Silvio Berlusconi and two women.

De Nicolo said: “Before I got to his party I was given €1,000. If Silvio wants you to stay, then stay . . . don’t worry, he will give you money.”

At another moment, Silvio Berlusconi, who is 5 feet 5 inches (1.65 m) tall, is also heard asking Giampaolo Tarantini “not to bring tall [girls], as we are not tall.”

Berlusconi also reveals that there are 40 women staying in his house who just won’t leave.

The Italian Prime Minister asks excitedly in many moments who the Tarantini will bring him next.

The investigation in the southern city of Bari, where Giampaolo Tarantini was based, includes about 100,000 wiretapped conversations, targeting eight people, including Tarantini, his brother and a woman nicknamed in the Italian media as “Queen Bee” for her alleged role in recruiting women for the premier.

Silvio Berlusconi denies any wrongdoing and paying for sex.
