Swiss con man Helg Sgarbi has been sentenced to six years in jail after admitting sleeping with and blackmailing a succession of rich women out of millions of pounds including BMW heiress Susanne Klatten.
The 44-year-old wined and dined a string of rich wives and widows, including Germany's wealthiest woman Mrs Klatten, winning their confidence and then asking for money.

Holy smokes. How did this dork manage to even get a date in the first place. Desperate housewives, I guess...
It’s in Europe.
He looks like an even less attractive Conan O’Brien.
I bet he sold it to ugly girls.
That was my thought. Kind of a cross between O’Brien and Robin Williams. Eeek!
He hot to the Swiss.

Suzanne Klatten, BMW heiress.....
Seems to me like she could get a date without paying for it.
LOL! Klatten is not bad looking and loaded as she is part of the family that owns BMW.
Good work if you can get it. Viva Viagra! (god I hate those commercials) ;-)
He must have some appealing characteristic...but I sure don’t see it.
She’s married.
Even so ....
He looks a bit like Michael Caine, doesn’t he?
Isn’t that guy on “Heroes”?
I suppose. She’s attractive, except for the eyebrows. No doubt the “relationship” was not presented as a straightforward commercial transaction at first. The article says he’s “charming.”
Of the Hogan variety?
LOL!
His yodel must be quite entertaining.

“He looks like an even less attractive Conan OBrien.”
That was my immediate reaction also. I’ll bet O’Brien will get lots of joke mileage from this.
“He must have some appealing characteristic...but I sure dont see it.”
Uhhh - - from your screen name I assumed you to be female. Thanks for your post.
At first, I thought I must not have been able to understand why such a man could convince someone like Suzanne Klatten to become an adultress because I was male, and thus unable to somehow see why that gigilo was acceptable to her.
“People are stranger than we can think they are.” Asimov. Well, almost, anyway.
So that’s swoon-worthy in Europe?! Gotta get me a ticket.
I think John Kerry is guilty of the same.
“Roger her roundly. . . .”
What was that definition of Hell:
Where the food is British
The police are German
The cars are French
The lovers are Swiss
And the whole thing is run by Italians
You should be a hit! There doesn’t seem to be much competition in Europe.
“You should be a hit!”
Thanks, but you have just proven that you don’t know what I look like!

“Seems to me like she could get a date without paying for it.”
Yes, and she had the common sense to go to the police and accept the embarassment she had earned.
There are two reasons why the media diverts from the two basic facts about this story. The first basic facts is:
1. The "swiss gigolo" is close to the ultimative example of what can be achieved when people supposed to be the "elite" are victims of brainwash by "normal" people with special capabilities.
But it is the second fact that it is MOST important to divert from. It is that fact that also explains why t"where is the money?" did not really matter.
The reason is that the second basic fact is that_
2. The "swiss gigolo" is close to the ultimative example of what can be achieved when people with special capabilities are victims of brainwash by a sect. people
Yes, the "swiss gigolo" is a brainwashe puppet of the leader of a sect.
And there is two good reasons to keep that fact out from the headlines.
“At first, I thought I must not have been able to understand why such a man could convince someone like Suzanne Klatten to become an adultress”
To start with, she was on vacation without her husband and children. Why do you assume he was the first, or that her huband was entirely unaware of what was going on?
“Why do you assume he was the first, or that her huband was entirely unaware of what was going on?”
Perhaps it is because I am (by choice) quite unaware of many of the nuances of European behavior.
Hmmm, so "Deutschlands reichste Frau" paid "Callboy" (did you know "Callboy is a German word? Neither did I) 7.5 Million Euros to keep out the sex videos
I was looking for this article and typed “Swiss gigolo” into the FR search and an article about John Kerry popped up!
