An Italian millionaire's lavish engagement turned out to be nothing more than a well-prepared trap for his fiancee, whom he publicly accused of infidelity.
Italian high society was shocked by what happened in the palace of 64-year-old Massimo Segre in Turin. Selected guests who had come to celebrate the banker's engagement to 47-year-old Christina Seimandi witnessed their public split, where the millionaire exposed the woman in his speech and suggested she go to Mykonos with... her boyfriend.
As Segre prepared to begin his speech at the party, everyone expected him to speak softly about the woman he - apparently - had chosen to spend the rest of his life with. However, the first words that came out of his mouth showed that the intentions were completely different.
" I want to give Kristina the freedom to love. More specifically, to love another person, a distinguished lawyer who obviously cares more about him than he does about me.'
My dear Christina, I know how much you are in love with him spiritually and sexually. And I know that before you had a relationship with an industrialist you know", continues the 64-year-old reading the "accusation" from a piece of paper and glancing at the 47-year-old woman who stands stunned in front of about 150 guests of theirs.
“Mos mendo se më vjen mirë të dukem si një qyqe para të gjithëve... Kristina është aq e mirë në paraqitjen e të vërtetave të saj, sa nuk mund t'i besoja asaj për t'ju thënë arsyen pse po i jap fund lidhjes sonte. Është një histori banale e tradhtisë para se të bëhet dasma. Jam shumë i zhgënjyer dhe i trishtuar”, shton bankieri, përpara se t’i urojë më të mirat ish të fejuarës dhe t’i sugjerojë të shkojë në Mykonos (ku të dy do të udhëtonin pas festës) me të dashurin e saj, pasi “gjithçka është e paguar”.
Menjëherë pasi Segre mbaroi fjalimin e tij, dritat u zbehën dhe ai u largua. Sipas mediave italiane të cituara nga gazeta britanike, shumë nga të ftuarit e festës u mërzitën nga mënyra se si miku i tyre milioner zgjodhi të trajtonte ndarjen e tij, duke i përdorur si shikues në emisionin që përgatiti.
He accuses Seimandi of having "stolen" 700,000 euros from the couple's joint account, although he claims that the transfer of money was made with his consent, before they separated.
