Berlusconi urged to resign over latest sex probe

Italian opposition parties stepped up calls on Tuesday for Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi to resign over a probe into allegations he paid for sex with several young women, including a 17-year old nightclub dancer.

The head of the largest opposition party led a chorus of calls for his resignation after a report by magistrates that was sent to parliament said a "significant" number of young women prostituted themselves with Berlusconi at his homes. (Reuters)
