He was sentenced to seven years in prison but is appealing the verdict and remains at liberty until a definitive sentence is handed down by Italy's highest court.

The Milan court said that Mr Berlusconi orchestrated the sessions at his mansion at Arcore, outside Milan, where "female guests operated to satisfy the will of the accused".

When Miss El Mahroug was arrested by police in Milan in May 2010 on suspicion of stealing from her flatmate, Mr Berlusconi applied "heavy pressure" on police to release her without charge, fearing that the scandal would be made public.

He erroneously told police officers that the teenager was a relative of Hosni Mubarak, the then-president of Egypt, and that her detention could cause a diplomatic stand-off between Cairo and Rome.

The claim earned a withering response from an Italian magistrate involved in the case, who said: "If she's Mubarak's granddaughter then I'm Queen Nefertiti of the Nile."

The judges also accused the three-times premier of paying witnesses in the trial "huge sums of money and jewellery" to provide false testimony, with many of the young women claiming in court that the bunga bunga parties were not at all salacious and instead "elegant dinners" in which the billionaire businessman serenaded them with love songs and told jokes.

The media tycoon had attempted to "systematically contaminate" the trial, which began in 2010.
