Burlesque Dancer Dressed As Barack Obama Performed At Berlusconi’s ‘Bunga Bunga’ Parties

Silvio Belusconi’s “bunga bunga” parties were pretty wild. Reports surfaced last week that the former Italian Prime Minister often had strippers dress up as nuns, so I guess it isn’t too surprising to learn that he also had a burlesque dancer dress up as President Obama.

Reuters reports that Berlusconi, 75, is currently standing trial for paying an underage prostitute to have sex with him at one of his parties. Marysthell Polanco, a girl who danced at the parties, said during the trial today that she was often asked to dress up as different characters. Polanco said that she danced dress like President Obama, as well as IldaBoccassini, the prosecutor in the Berlusconi case.

Polanco said:

“I dressed up as Boccassini with a toga to make him laugh, and also as Obama.”

Polanco testified that the “bunga bunga” parties were light-hearted events that featured burlesque entertainment. Polanco said that the entertainment was not pornographic. Berlusconi said that the parties were “eloquent dinners” but other witnesses tell a different story.

According to the Chicago Tribune, previous witnesses have testified that the dancers were frequently nude and often mimicked sex acts. 27-year-old Imane Fadil testified that girls were given the chance to earn more money by spending the night after the parties and having sex with the prime minister.

Silvio Berlusconi denies all wrongdoing in the case.
