Alfredo Lardelli

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alfredo Lardelli alias Alfredo Borgatte dos Santos is a dubious Swiss entrepreneur, who – according to himself - works “30 percent as a legal adviser, 30 percent as an estate agent and 40 percent as an adviser for the red light-scene”.^[1] He gained his knowledge about jurisprudence autodidactically. He became known to a broad public thanks to the media reporting about his various lawsuits.

In 1989, Lardelli gets sentenced to twenty years of jail for murdering two prostitutes and the husband of his then-lady-love. In prison, he married a Brazilian woman and adopted her family name, Borgatte dos Santos. After his early discharge in 1999 grace to good behaviour, he had a big media presence, e.g. in Swiss TV and in rainbow press-paper Blick, that dedicated a series to him, that lasted six issues.^[2]
Lardelli wanted to open up an etablissement in Wagen (Gemeinde Jona).This lead to verious legal arguments.^[3] Lardelli e.g. had to appear at court, because he supposedly threated an opponent of his project to kill him. ^[1]
In 2006 and inspired by Lardelli, Ueli Maurer, president of political party SVP, was taken legal actions against, because of falsification of documents, and acquitted.^[4]

[edit] Charactre

According to a broadcast of the "Reporter"-series on SF1, that tried to analyze Lardelli and that also featured an appearance of the expert Josef Sachs, Lardelli is a heavy narcisst with huge craving for recognition, who thinks, he is “something special”. Lardelli often engages himself in lawsuits, e.g. against a politician of the CVP-party from Zug, Beat Villiger, who affronted him via E-Mail saying "Pfui" (Faugh!) and "fieser Mörder" (mean murderer).
