The Female Labyrith

, a book by a former MEP, reports the

Daily Mail

.

In the advertisement, the dancer, whose stage name is Ruby the Heart Stealer, attacks the “regime” and claims Italian society has been “stripped bare” by the government.

She initially appears in a red dress but a man dressed as the Phantom of the Opera emerges and rips it off, leaving her in nothing but her black bikini, to emphasise the message of the ad.
