Belly dancer cashes in on Berlusconi scandal by appearing semi-clothed in TV ad

London, Feb 17 (ANI): The teenage belly dancer who is believed to have slept with Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has cashed in on the scandal by appearing in an Italian TV advert.

Karima El Mahroug, 18, strips to her underwear in a commercial for The Female Labyrith, a book by a former MEP, reports the Daily Mail.

In the advertisement, the dancer, whose stage name is Ruby the Heart Stealer, attacks the "regime" and claims Italian society has been "stripped bare" by the government.

She initially appears in a red dress but a man dressed as the Phantom of the Opera emerges and rips it off, leaving her in nothing but her black underwear, to emphasise the message of the ad. (ANI)
