TV stations in Romania have been rocked by a prostitution scandal after more than 30 presenters and models were arrested in an investigation into a call girl ring.

Prosecutors in the capital Bucharest say 33 women are being investigated, some of them household names in the country, for their part in the £10,000 per night ring.

Police say that so far seven women are facing charges, with one fleeing to Dubai and another 25 still being investigated.

Six of the defendants have been named in the local media as Playboy playmate Diana Nicoras aged 20, and fellow models Diana Guresoaie, 24 and Lavinia Despina, 29.

Also named are Ramona Popescu, 24, Mirela Dumitru, 25, and Georgiana Constantin, 21.

The alleged offences date back to August last year and the Fifth District Court of Bucharest have been monitoring the situation.
