Millionaire Left Penniless After Prostitute He Married Flees with Belongings Weeks After Wedding

Klaus Schweikert, 58, an Austrian millionaire who married a prostitute in fairy-tale ceremony has been left penniless after she fled with his cash and jewellery following a fatal road crash that left him seriously ill.

According to DailyMail, Klaus first met ‘Lucie’, 27, when she came to his house in Horn in northern Austria after a business trip to Germany. The pair subsequently got married but just three weeks later, he was involved in a crash and hospitalised.

At first she came to see him at the hospital every day, but the visits started to dry up.

Lucie, from the Czech Republic, reportedly now has a new boyfriend and left, taking money, expensive jewellery, Audi A8 and other assets.

Describing how he met Lucie after arriving home to an empty house following a business trip, he said:

‘I had been away a long time and when I finally got back to my home here in Austria, it was cold and empty. The whole house was covered in dust because I had been away for so long, and when my friend came round to visit me he noticed that I seemed a bit depressed.

That was when he suggested inviting someone round, and before I knew it he had rung the local brothel and arranged for a girl to make a house visit.

I had never visited a brothel before or been with a prostitute, and I wasn’t in favour but when I open the door, and I saw Lucie standing there, I fell in love instantly.’

He said that instead of having sex, he had invited her for champagne and had made her a meal, and the couple had spent the two hours he paid 400 Euros (£291) for in conversation. He added:

‘It felt as if I had found my other half. She felt the same, and rang her boss to tell him she was going to spend the rest of the night with me, and not charge anything.’

They developed a relationship, and Lucie, who had worked for three years in a local brothel, showed no hesitation when he asked her if she would marry him.

Their relationship has now come to a quite sad end as he claims he has has lost most of his investments to Lucie, and a friend reportedly affirms: ‘The situation now is far from pretty.’
