With talents like his, Swiss gigolo Helg Swarbi (formerly known as something Russak) should have been an ‘investment’ banker.
In a ten-year career the scholarly-looking imposter secured a total of nine million euros from various credulous females although he met his match with BMW heiress Susanne Klatten.
Even so Swarbi managed to extricate seven million euros from Klatten (in a box, in cash, apparently) but she drew the line at placing a further 290 million into a new account to “finance their life together.”
As we said, just what investment bankers have done through the ages, although with companies rather than their wives.
Klatten, who owns 12.5 per cent of the Munich carmaker apparently, had the guts to go to court and own up to her extra-marital affair with conman Helg. Who’s now looking at a ten-year sentence and a big publishing deal when he gets out.
Who’ll play him in the film?
