The model, Imane Fadil, had told reporters in 2012 that she feared for her safety after she admitted to prosecutors that she had been offered money to remain silent about the details of Berlusconi’s parties.
In this Monday, Oct. 3, 2011 file photo, Imane Fadil smiles as she leaves the court in Milan, Italy. Italy prosecutors have opened an investigation into the death of a Moroccan model who testified in one of the inquiries linked to ex-Premier Silvio Berlusconi's"bunga bunga" parties.
She had also been writing a book about her experiences at the sex-fueled parties, known as"bunga bunga" parties., showed"a mixture of radioactive substances which are not normally available for purchase." Berlusconi said he had never known the woman, but"what I read of her statements made me think that everything was invented, absurd."
A 34-year-old Moroccan model — who was a key witness in the trial against former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi over his paying for sex with an underage woman while in office — has died of poisoning, according to her lawyer.
