Glam mistress recorded trysts with minister on Ray-Ban ‘spy glasses’ as MP tearfully begs for wife’s forgiveness on TV
A GLAM mistress has recorded her affair with her MP lover with a pair of Ray-Ban spy glasses.
In a plot straight from a movie, Maria Rosaria Boccia, secretly recorded the corridors of power after she was given access to the parliament building by her Italian lover and MP Gennaro Sangiuliano.
Boccia said she had worn a pair of Ray-Ban Stories, smart glasses equipped with a tiny camera and microphone.
She used them to film herself walking through the corridors of the lower house of parliament, insisting: “There’s nothing illegal about it.”
The Italian culture minister, has begged for forgiveness after the secret “spy glasses” recordings revealed the illicit affair.
Appearing on prime time national television, Sangiuliano admitted to having an affair with the fashion influencer.
The embattled MP apologised to his wife Federica Corsini, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, for having an affair with a younger female “colleague”.
He tearfully said: “The first person I have to apologise to, who is an exceptional person, is my wife.”
He also claimed that the Italian PM had rejected his resignation letter.
The illicit affair came to light after Boccia, 41, announced on LinkedIn that she had been appointed as the “adviser to the minister for major events.”
However, Sangiuliano denied that he had nominated her for the role.
Instead, he said he had initially offered Boccia as consultancy role but then changed his mind after being told that it would present a conflict of interest because of their relationship.
The scorned lover then began posting the footage on social media, causing fears of a national security breach.
Despite the potential security breach, Sangiualiano said Boccia was not privy to any the security details.
He said: “She didn’t have access to classified or confidential documents.”
However, Boccia took to social media site Instagram to prove she had been involved in meetings, site events and consultations.
She has also accused her former lover of misusing public funds to pay for her trips, a claim Sangiuliano strongly denies.
He admitted attending events with Boccia but said he had paid for everything himself with his credit card.
The married minister, met Ms Boccia, a former men’s fashion retailer from Pompeii, at a political rally a year ago.
