Italian magistrates have opened an investigation into a possible murder after the mysterious death of a Moroccan model who was a regular guest at Silvio Berlusconi’s “bunga bunga” parties.

Imane Fadil, 33, died on 1 March, a month after being admitted to a Milan hospital with severe stomach pains. At the time she told friends and her lawyer that she had been poisoned. Her death was only reported on Friday.

“The doctors have not identified with any certainty any pathology which can explain the death,” Milan’s chief prosecutor, Francesco Greco, told Reuters, adding that there were “several anomalies” in Fadil’s medical records.

Fadil testified at the 2012 trial of Berlusconi, who was accused of paying for sex with an underage girl.
