ABC News:
State prosecutors have indicted 43-year-old Swiss national Helg Sgarbi for allegedly blackmailing BMW heiress Susanne Klatten, Germany's richest woman.
In August 2007, Klatten, 46, a married mother of three teenagers, fell for Sgarbi, whom she had met at the famous spa retreat Lanserhof, a hangout for the rich and famous in Tirol, Austria, Munich's daily newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung reported today.

Swiss Gigolo, isn't an oxymoron? Paying for sex, either directly or indirectly, has been going on since there have been men and women and sex. You either pay in the form of a fee or you pay in the forms of food and drink and whatever else you do that passes for entertainment. There is no such thing a "free love" either in the past, the present or the future.
Wow, apparently Mrs. Klatten's fortune is tied to the forced slave labor of prisoners of war during world war 2.
"Last year the Quandt family and their Nazi connections were the subject of a major investigation by German TV.
The programme suggested that the family owed a large portion of their fortune, which runs into the billions, to the brutal exploitation of slave labour".

Is it any wonder she is camera-shy.
Mrs. Klatten has repeatedly demonstrated that the Holocaust just "isn't her problem".
What the program suggested is absolutely true - that her ancestors worked closely, manufacturing for Hitler during the war. Afterwards they grabbed up what was left of BMW - a company that had enslaved more than 10,000 Jews during the Holocaust. This doesn't include the relatively undocumented slave labor that was OF COURSE used in the rest of her family's factories. Her fortune is derived directly from the enslavement of Holocaust victims - she has flat out refused discussion of reparations to the victims of her wealth.
Talk about someone who deserves what they get...
What a way to debut to the public.
The true victims are Susanne Klatten's children, not her. The big winner in all of this, ironically? Her husband.
He now owns half of her father's fortune. It won't be the first nor the last time a family fortune has been flattened by a divorce. Just wait til those juicy details come out in trial.
I guess women can't keep their pants on, either.
Actually it is a brave and good thing that Helg steps up and tells her story because of the other women and men that may have been blackmailed because of their personal lives...
Kudos to her....
I got a couple things here:
1. For you young studs out there, you can't blackmail a hussy.
2. Where's the link to the Vids?
LOL
Money does not equal happiness. When people finally started figuring this out they gave us the 'debt equals happiness' marketing strategy. Tragic that there are so many idiots that fell for it
Is it bad that I wish I had this problem?
no. it is human nature. none of learns anything the easy way. some of us barely even learn the hard way --
gigolos need love too.
Uhm, hello, If we are going to go tabloid here, can we please some have some pictures of the "gigolo par excellance"
I searched everywhere I could think of and could not find a picture of this guy.
Heres a picture from a german newsmag. The dude on the left is supposed to be the http://dcr
This is like really ancient information.
Must be a really slow time for Huffpost when trying to find some dirt to repor ton. Did they send some of the interns into the archives to dig something out?
I amost mistakened her for hillary clinton
good thing nothing like this would ever happen in 'merikuh!
I am a bit surprised to the this "news" posted on Huffington Post - it was largely covered in the German and European press A MONTH AGO. Why bringing it up here again - blogging is supposed to be faster than "traditional" media. And after all, isn't it "regarding the pain of others"?
I applaud this courageous, if lonely and gullible womman.
Wonder who will be starring in the movie version?
as long it's not Nicole Kidman ...
