'Swiss Gigolo' gets 6 years for defrauding BMW heiress Klatten...

A man dubbed "the Swiss gigolo" by the German media was sentenced to six years in prison Monday for defrauding Germany's richest woman of euro7 million ($9 million) and attempting to blackmail her for tens of millions more.

Helg Sgarbi (S'Gar-bee) had admitted to the Munich court that he threatened to release secretly recorded videotapes of trysts with BMW heiress Susanne Klatten, 46, unless the married woman gave him millions of euros (dollars) to keep quiet

The 44-year-old also admitted convincing Klatten to give him euro7 million ($9 million) by saying it was for the treatment of a girl left paraplegic after a car crash with Sgarbi.

The Munich state court found Sgarbi guilty of fraud and attempted blackmail. More...
