Born in Naantali in April 1936 Pertti Ylermi got to know the Count from the 1950s onwards As Lindgren. Really, the man who passed away in 2015 was anything but noble. He was a convicted scammer.
Count Lindgren got behind bars after the events in Motala. They are primed in a new one Gentlemen and cheaters in the documentary series Mirka Kettunen:
– Soon Lindgren would make a big mistake that would end the actions of one of Scandinavia’s biggest robbers.
Lindgren was sent from Finland to Sweden at the age of four. He lived in a surrogate family for nine years. This family was not noble either. IL ARCHIVE
What was this mistake then? The same one that Lindgren had repeated numerous times before. In the autumn of 1959, the man had returned from a scam trip to continental Europe to his then homeland of Sweden. He settled in the Motala city hotel and wanted to impress the local sophistication. He invited the whole circle to the hotel for an evening out, which he had no intention of paying. This time, however, the receptionist was awake and guessed the burnt carriage. The young woman contacted police who arrested Lindgren. A series of scams was soon revealed that had left victims all over Sweden. The offender was sentenced to six years in prison and deportation.
After his release from prison, Lindgren threw himself into a singer that toured not only in Finland but also in Sweden. Eventually, she trained as a primary care nurse. Bo Stranden
Lindgren had pretended to be Count von Oxenstierna, but at times he also used von Heidenstam as his surname. Lindgren had also claimed to be a flight captain, prison manager, German Dr. Schröder, pastor Melin, Italian archaeologist Beniamino Torrini, lawyer Wallendorf, and Filipino director Bernard af Creutz, among others. On that side, he had engaged several women with dishonest intent.
– I have been convicted of 76 engagements. I have seduced between 400 and 500 women, Lindgren himself estimated for Sweden’s SVT in 1986.
In an old interview, Lindgren revealed that she had engaged as many as 276 women. Yle
