Alfredo Lardelli (1955 or 1956 – 21 July 2015), alias Alfredo Borgatte dos Santos, was a Swiss entrepreneur, who – according to himself - worked “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 was sentenced to twenty years in prison for murdering two prostitutes and the husband of his then-girlfriend.[2] In prison, he married a Brazilian woman and adopted her family name, Borgatte dos Santos. After his early discharge in 1999 due to good behaviour, he had a big media presence, e.g. in Swiss TV and in rainbow press-paper Blick, which dedicated a series to him that lasted six issues.[3]
- Lardelli wanted to open up an establishment in Wagen (Gemeinde Jona). This led to various legal arguments.[4] Lardelli had to appear in court, because he supposedly threatened to kill an opponent of his project.[1]
- In 2006 and inspired by Lardelli, legal actions were taken against Ueli Maurer, president of political party SVP, because of alleged falsification of documents; Maurer was acquitted.[5]
Lardelli died of multiple organ failure in 2015 at the age of 59.[6]
