Testimony
Iman Fadil testified against Silvio Berlusconi in 2012. In June 2013 Berlusconi was found guilty of paying her for sex, and of abuse of power. However, the case was eventually overturned in 2014.[1]
Assassination
“I’m still paying dearly for my testimony at the trial against Berlusconi,” Fadil said in an interview with la Repubblica a few days before being admitted to hospital.[3]
Iman Fadil felt unwell and "told her relatives and lawyer that she was afraid she had been poisoned". She died of progressive organ failure on 1 March 2019 after a "month of agony".[4]
A toxicology test has established that the former model died of “a mixture of radioactive substances”.[5] Italian police opened a murder investigation.[4]
