How generous! On Saturday, Stefano Patta (52) invited the entire population of St. Gallen to eat sausages and pasta. The previously unknown businessman was extremely willing to spend, everyone was invited to eat. The only condition was to register in advance and request a bonus to be able to comply with the concepts of crown protection.
It is unclear why the Italian started this unusual campaign. “No political background, no self-promotion,” the businessman told various media in the run-up to the event. “People should celebrate again, the city should be revitalized.”
“It costs as much as several Porsche”
And the people came. “The mood was good, we got a lot of positive feedback,” says one of the BLICK hosts. The bar had no expenses because Patta, as advertised, paid for everything. “That should cost as much as several Porsche. I already have one, “Patta said before the free banquet.
But now it comes to light: the Italian is a braggart, and possibly a fraud.
Four bankruptcies in 20 years
Patta is said to be in debt of almost 700,000 francs, like the “St. Galler Tagblatt »reports. More precisely: 698,073 francs. Between 2014 and 2017 alone, he had 76 operations, writes the newspaper, to which the Patta loss certificates are said to have been delivered.
Thus, the entrepreneur has founded four companies in the last twenty years, all of which went bankrupt due to lack of assets. In other words: companies ran out of money. There is hardly any information in the commercial register and the name Stefano Patta is nowhere to be found. His last company, Trebor AG, has, according to the commercial register, “fiduciary work and advice to companies on general business management problems.”
A bon vivant
Patta is less reserved on social media, on Facebook he appears as a bon vivant, posing in front of helicopters and with bottles of champagne. In June, in an interview with the “St. Galler Tagblatt »to build one hundred apartments in St. Gallen.
It is unclear whether he paid for the festival out of his own pocket. Patta has not yet issued a statement. One of the suppliers of sausages was Ernst Sutter AG from Gossau. In response to a request from BLICK, the company says it will not give any information about its customers’ payment methods. (vof)
