The Man Who Sold the Eiffel Tower
O Homem Que Vendeu a Torre Eiffel
  • Paris, 1925.
World War I had finished and the city was full of people with cash looking for business opportunities.
A Primeira Guerra Mundial tinha terminado e a cidade estava cheia de pessoas com dinheiro em busca de oportunidades de negócio.

Victor Lustig was reading the newspaper one day and found an article about the Eiffel Tower.
Victor Lustig estava lendo o jornal um dia e encontrou um artigo sobre a Torre Eiffel.

It said the tower was being neglected because it was too expensive to maintain.
Dizia que a torre estava sendo negligenciada por ser demasiado cara para manter.

Lustig a great ‘business opportunity’ – he would sell the Eiffel Tower!
Lustig tinha uma grande "oportunidade de negócio" – ele venderia a Torre Eiffel!

Lustig wrote to six important businessmen in the city and invited them to a secret meeting in a well-known Paris hotel.
Lustig escreveu a seis importantes empresários da cidade e convidou-os para uma reunião secreta num famoso hotel parisiense. 

He said he was a government official and he told them that he wanted to talk about a business deal.
Apresentou-se como funcionário do governo e disse que queria discutir um acordo comercial.

All six of the businessmen came to the meeting.
Todos os seis empresários compareceram na reunião.

At the meeting, Lustig told them that the city wanted to sell the Eiffel Tower for scrap metal and that he had been asked to find a buyer.
Na reunião, Lustig disse-lhes que a cidade queria vender a Torre Eiffel para sucata e que lhe tinha sido pedido para encontrar um comprador.

He said that the deal was secret because it would not be popular with the public.
Disse que o acordo era secreto porque não seria popular junto do público.

The businessmen believed him, perhaps the Eiffel Tower was never planned to be permanent.
Os empresários acreditaram nele, talvez a Torre Eiffel nunca tivesse sido planejada para ser permanente.

It had been built as part of the 1889 Paris Expo, and the original plan had been to remove it in 1909.
Tinha sido construída como parte da Expo Paris de 1889, e o plano original era removê-la em 1909.

Lustig rented a limousine and took the men to visit the tower.
Lustig alugou uma limusina e levou os homens a visitar a torre.

After the tour, he said that if they were interested, they should contact him the next day.
Após o passeio, disse que, se estivessem interessados, deveriam contactá-lo no dia seguinte.

Lustig told them he would give the tower contract to the person with the highest offer.
Lustig disse-lhes que daria o contrato da torre a quem fizesse a oferta mais alta.

One of the dealers, Andre Poisson, was very interested, but he was also worried.
Um dos negociantes, André Poisson, mostrou-se muito interessado, mas também preocupado.

Why was Lustig in such a hurry?
Porque é que Lustig estava com tanta pressa?

The two men had a meeting, and Lustig confessed that he wasn’t looking for the highest offer.
Os dois homens tiveram uma reunião, e Lustig confessou que não procurava a oferta mais alta.

He said he would give the contract to anybody – for a price.
Disse que daria o contrato a qualquer pessoa – por um preço.

Poisson understood: Lustig wanted a little extra money “under the table” for himself.
Poisson compreendeu: Lustig queria um dinheirinho extra "debaixo dos panos" para si.

This was Lustig’s cleverest lie, because now Poisson believed him completely.
Esta foi a mentira mais inteligente de Lustig, porque agora Poisson acreditava nele completamente.

Lustig sold Poisson a false contract for the Eiffel Tower – and on top of that, Poisson paid him a little extra money “under the table”.
Lustig vendeu a Poisson um contrato falso para a Torre Eiffel – e, além disso, Poisson pagou-lhe um dinheirinho extra "por baixo dos panos".

Lustig put all the money in a suitcase and took the first train to Vienna.
Lustig colocou todo o dinheiro numa mala e apanhou o primeiro comboio para Viena.

Poisson never told the police what had happened – he was too embarrassed.
Poisson nunca contou à polícia o que tinha acontecido – estava muito envergonhado.

After a month, Lustig returned to Paris and tried to sell the Eiffel Tower again, but this time somebody told the police and he had to escape to America.
Passado um mês, Lustig regressou a Paris e tentou vender novamente a Torre Eiffel, mas desta vez alguém denunciou a polícia e teve de fugir para os Estados Unidos.

There, he continued his criminal career and finished his days in the famous Alcatraz prison.
Lá, continuou a sua carreira criminosa e terminou os seus dias na famosa prisão de Alcatraz.
