Italian prosecutors say that the Italian leader paid for sex with an under-age Moroccan teen 13 times.A judge must now decide whether to indict the three aides, and start a separate trial.
Berlusconi has denies all charges, and his lawyers have filed a complaint to Rome prosecutors, saying they feared a setup. Ruby also has denied having had sex with the premier, and says she has never acted as a prostitute.
Besides the Moroccan teen, Karima el-Mahroug, known by her nickname Ruby, the document identifies 32 other women whom the three aides involved in parties at Berlusconi's villa near Milan.
The prosecutors allege that aides have acted together in a criminal scheme to induce Ruby into prostitution.
The document says that Ruby "committed sexual acts with Silvio Berlusconi, for payment in cash and other compensation, at his residence" outside of Milan on 13 occasions from Feb.
