Topolánek denies existence of photographs of him naked at Berlusconi villa

Former Czech prime minister Mirek Topolánek denies that there are photographs of him naked at the home of the Italian leader Silvio Berlusconi. An Italian newspaper quoted a lawyer for Mr Berlusconi as saying his client had initiated proceedings to prevent the publication of paparazzi photos shot at his villa because at least one featured Mr Topolánek naked in the garden, while there as a guest of the Italian prime minister. Mr Topolánek told Prima TV he ruled out the existence of such photographs, while his partner Lucie Talmanová said she expected an apology from the Italian media.
