The “Carlos” case made Hansueli Gürber the best-known youth lawyer in Switzerland. An SRF report on Gürber revealed in August 2013 that the then 17-year-old long-time delinquent Brian is in an expensive special setting. The post caused quite a stir.
The long-term delinquent lived in a luxurious four-and-a-half-room apartment. In addition to a personal advisor who looked after him 24 hours a day, nine other people looked after the convicted violent criminal. Costs: CHF 29,000 per month. He trained in martial arts with Thai boxing trainer Shemsi Beqiri (36) – as therapy.
Gürber has now died at the age of 71, according to his family on Facebook. “Unfortunately, I have to tell you that Hansueli, my dad, died suddenly and unexpectedly last Saturday evening,” the post says. In addition, a picture of the Zurich. The fact that a scandal was made of Brian’s special setting at the time took the ex-juvenile attorney with him. Because even years later, he stood by the decision that he had done the right thing.
«The power of these images could hardly be controlled»
“We were faced with two options. We could have just put him on the street and waited for something to happen again. We didn’t want that,” said Gürber in 2019 in “Switzerland at the weekend”.
After all, the special setting was the alternative. “He had so many muscles that it was clear to me: If he wants to, I’ll be dead in two minutes. Thai boxing hasn’t increased this powerhouse, on the contrary. He was happier, had a goal, became more balanced and started to reflect his shots.” Brian went through a learning process.
Of course, the costs were high. That’s not a question. But he regretted one thing to the end. “I shouldn’t have allowed the recordings from boxing training. I should have taken the spectacle out of the film. The power of these images could hardly be controlled.” (jmh)
