More taped conversations emerge of under fire Labour MP Keith Vaz appearing to bark lewd demands at prostitutes as he battles latest rent boy scandal
VICE-scandal MP Keith Vaz faces more controversy after claims that he may have been drugged during his liaison with rent boys were cast into doubt.
Sources have allegedly revealed the identity of the man who paid the bill for the male prostitutes.
New clips from the tapes, obtained by the Sunday Mirror, appear to show how the Labour MP barked orders at two escorts, ordered their sexual positions and even said 'good' when he discovered that an escort was drunk.
The married father-of-two Vaz, 59, was fighting for his political future after claims he met two Eastern European prostitutes at his London flat, and offered to cover the cost of buying cocaine if it was brought along.
But new transcripts appear to show the MP posing questions about the sex-enhancing drug poppers.
It appears that Vaz ,told the escorts his name was Jim and he was a washing machine salesman.
He allegedly later demanded to be treated "like a b****" and said to one escort: "I'm just going to have to f*** you."
A friend of the Home Affairs Select Committee chairman has claimed that Mr Vaz was drugged during the encounter. But the new passages exposed by The Daily Mirror appear to have cast doubt on claims.
The man who allegedly paid the escorts for the 'deposit' has been named by as Daniel Dimitru Dragusin.
Allegations that the cash came from an associate linked to the Labour veteran’s own charity, as revealed by The Sun on Sunday, have been refuted by Mr Dragusin.
On one LinkedIn profile, Mr Dragusin was named as Silver Star Diabetes' 'London coordinator'.
