In this Oct. 3, 2011 file photo, Imane Fadil smiles as she leaves the court in Milan, Italy. Fadil died in a hospital in Milan on March 1 after telling her lawyer and her friends that she might have been poisoned.The mysterious death of a former model has come back to haunt Silvio Berlusconi, the former Italian prime minister whose “bunga bunga” orgy parties triggered a sensational scandal that enveloped him with legal problems that have yet to end.
Milan investigators delayed sharing the news of her death until Friday to ensure that no one would tamper with her toxicology reports. Milan’s chief prosecutor, Francesco Greco, said Ms. Fadil had shown “symptoms of poisoning,” according to the Italian news agency Ansa. He has opened an investigation into her possible murder.The initial toxicology reports into Ms. Fadil’s death came on March 6.
When asked by Italy’s La Repubblica newspaper whether she thought Ms. Fadil had been murdered, Souad Sbai, a former member of parliament who is the president of the Association of Moroccan Women in Italy, said: “Absolutely.” Ms. Fadil was one of several women who testified in the court case against Mr. Berlusconi in 2012, the year after the deep Italian financial crisis ended his career as prime minister . Mr. Berlusconi, now 82, was charged with having sex with an underage Moroccan runaway, Karima el-Mahroug – known as Ruby the Heart Stealer – who was 17 when she attended the parties at his mansion near Milan. He was also charged with putting pressure on the police to hush up the case.
