Former law-and-order Gov. Eliot Spitzer took surveillance to a whole new level when he indulged in watching couples getting it on, a Brazilian madam said yesterday in an exclusive interview from her tropical hometown.
Hookers who charge $1,000 an hour weren’t always enough to satiate Spitzer’s perverse sexual desires, said Andreia Schwartz, who claims she hired girls for the governor before police busted the prostitution ring she ran out of her luxury Manhattan apartment in 2006.
She said the disgraced horndog was a kinky voyeur who had a fetish for live sex shows – in addition to regularly hiring “models” from her escort agency.
“I found it strange that he has a beautiful wife but he likes to watch couples,” she said, referring to Silda, Spitzer’s wife of 20 years. “He was weird.”
Anna Cordasco, a spokeswoman for Spitzer, said, “These are completely outrageous fabrications.”
Back home in Brazil after 18 months in Rikers Island on prostitution and drug charges, a newly free Schwartz dished openly about the peculiar perversions that ultimately led to Spitzer’s downfall.
The brunette ex-madam, whose deportation was held up for a week by authorities desperate for her secrets, says Spitzer was a long-standing client of her $1-million-a-year call-girl ring.
Speaking from her mother’s home in the coastal city of Victoria, Schwartz, a 33-year-old mother of a teenage boy, said federal prosecutors grilled her relentlessly about her clientele after her March 14 deportation was abruptly halted and she was kept in a solitary cell in New Jersey.
“They offered to change my name by going to the witness-protection program or something in exchange for information about corrupt cops, politicians and others,” she said. “They wanted me to stay and make the life of those people hell.”
Schwartz arrived in Brazil Saturday.
The FBI declined to comment on her statements.
But Schwartz’s lawyer, Jeffrey Lichtman, confirmed that federal prosecutors grilled her about the Emperors Club VIP – and about Ashley Alexandra Dupre, the hooker whose Feb. 13 Washington, DC, tryst with Spitzer was caught on federal wiretaps.
Although Schwartz remained mum on Spitzer to the feds, she now says there’s proof the two did business together and hinted at more revelations to come.
“I talked to him via e-mails, but I also talked to actors, singers. I know lots of famous people. I had constant contact with models, millionaires, government officials and an aide to former Mayor Giuliani,” she said without naming names.
She added that she is still angry that “dirty” investigators – whom she would not identify – “stole” the proceeds from her call-girl ring and said that’s why she refused to cooperate.
Police seized documents and a computer hard drive from Schwartz’s brothel on West 58th Street two years ago.
Until now, the most prominent name to be linked to Schwartz had been former Time Warner CFO Wayne Pace, who allegedly paid the madam some $200,000 over three years.
Meanwhile, other salacious details about Spitzer’s sexual shenanigans surfaced yesterday from a source intimately familiar with the former governor’s alleged Florida floozy.
It was revealed that Spitzer arch-enemy Roger Stone, a Republican dirty-tricks specialist, had his lawyer pen a letter to the FBI last November saying the governor spent some personal time with a Florida prostitute.
“It is also my client’s understanding from the same source that Governor Spitzer did not remove his mid-calf-length black socks during the sex act,” attorney Paul Rolf Jensen wrote, according to an account in the Miami Herald.
That woman is believed to be a prostitute who haunts Miami Velvet, an upscale swingers club in South Florida.
Another call girl at the club told a friend that she was originally supposed to be set up with Spitzer but was rejected because she wasn’t a brunette.
“She just said she had not gotten the call because she had just become a blonde and the client evidently wanted a brunette,” said a source who knows the call girl.
“You know, his taste is consistent,” the source added. The now-famous call girl Dupre is also a brunette.
Campaign records show Spitzer stayed at the Wyndham Grand Bay Hotel in Coral Gables, Fla., on Feb. 23, 2006. It is unclear when Spitzer’s alleged Florida tryst took place.
There could also be written documentation on what Spitzer fancied in the sack.
Emperors Club VIP kept detailed dossiers on its clients, according to Gloria Weiss, a Manhattan woman who was offered a job as a booker at the high-priced escort agency.
Bookers, who got a 10 percent cut of every transaction, were encouraged to engage clients in chit-chat to learn about their personal predilections, according to internal Emperors Club VIP documents.
Weiss said Cecil Suwal, the alleged No. 2 of the operation, provided the paperwork.
Suwal’s attorney did not return a call for comment.
