epa03184898 Maroccan model Imane Fadil arrives at the Milan court, to be heard as witness, in Milan, Italy, 16 April 2012. Imane Fadil was testifying at the trial in which former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, 75, is charged with paying an underage Moroccan dancer for sex. Fadil, who is also Moroccan-born, described what she said was her first visit to Berlusconi's Arcore residence near Milan. In the trial, prosecutors also accuse Berlusconi of having abused his then-position as premier to cover up his liaison with the dancer, Karima El Mahroug, who was 17 at the time and underage under Italian law.

Sources in Italy are being quoted as saying that no evidence of radioactivity has been found in the organs of key Ruby witness Imane Fadil, after the results of testing on her first tissue samples came in. Fadil died March 1 after complaining she was poisoned.

Fadil, a 33-year-old Moroccan model, was a prosecution witness in a witness tampering trial against former three-time premier and media magnate Silvio Berlusconi.

Prosecutors say Berlusconi paid women to lie about the nature of his bunga bunga sex parties.

Berlusconi was initially convicted of paying for sex with underage prostitute and teen runaway exotic dancer Ruby Rubacuori but eventually acquitted after judges said he could not have known she was a minor.
