Former Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi's aide Nicole Minetti - charged for recruiting prostitutes to attend the "bunga bunga" parties - has denied inviting anyone to the infamous dinner parties.
Minetti spoke at the trial, which is separate from the one in which Berlusconi has been charged for paying to have sex with a minor - Karima el-Mahroug - and trying to cover it up, the Guardian reported.
Mahroug had previously testified that Minetti was a key protagonist in the parties, dancing provocatively while dressed as a nun and stripping for Berlusconi.
Minetti also said that she had a sentiment of true love towards Berlusconi.
She added that came to know of Mahroug's true age, 17, only when she went to take her home from the police station, after she allegedly stole from a roommate.
