The Blick newspaper in Switzerland continues to enjoy the story of the fake-Gucci-ad prank perpetrated on rival paper SonntagsZeitung. Today, Blick introduces us to the “Gucci swindler” himself, aka Juan Isidro Casilla. There’s not much new info, but they did get Casilla to sit for a photo shoot, in which he alternately laughs and broods but is clearly pleased with himself in general. (Click on “Die Bilder” in the upper right.) Of course, if this were New York, Blick would have put Casilla’s photo up on a billboard by now, right in front of SonntagsZeitung’s offices.
