An escort girl to Silvio Berlusconi says the Italian prime minister has direct ties to Mafia dons in a soon-to-be-published memoir. Patrizia D'Addario also says she was attacked and threatened after she slept with Berlusconi. The Italian leader's lawyer said the claims are "baseless and can be in no way verified." D'Addario says that her mother was attacked by a man who said, "This is to teach your whore of a daughter a lesson." In another incident, she said a car tried to run her off the road. She writes in the new book, “It was a miracle that I survived and did not hit another car." Berlusconi has faced allegations revolving around his relationships with escorts since last spring.
