Berlusconi Faces Inquiry in Prostitution Case

 ROME — Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi faces investigation in a prostitution case involving an under-age nightclub dancer, prosecutors announced Friday, a day after Italy’s highest court weakened a law that had shielded him from prosecution while in office.

The office of the Milan prosecutor, Edmondo Bruti Liberati, asserted in a statement that Mr. Berlusconi had illegally compensated the minor for sexual relations during encounters at the prime minister’s private villa outside Milan.
