Mafia thugs and mugs
2010-07-29
If you saw a random picture of fugitive businessman Tomáš Pitr,
who was arrested this week by the Swiss police, you might
mistake him for a tennis player or a marketing manager. Some
mafia thugs don't look like bona fide gangsters. You probably
wouldn't pick many capos of the Five Families out of a lineup
either, just based on how they look. (There is one exception, but
we don't want to end up in concrete boots!) At the same time,
some people have mafia mugs without officially belonging to any
family. Education Minister Josef Dobeš and M&A Director
Vladimír Schmalz of ČEZ could make a clock stop with their
mobster scowls. Radek John can also put on a good gangster
face, esp. when it's complemented by his all black-and-grey
outfit. Miroslav Kalousek doesn't particularly look like a made
man, but he certainly talks like one, esp. when his speech is
extra-slurred by rum. For all the talk of the ABL mafia, the very
pale Vít Bárta might be the CR's first vampire mobster. He clearly
does his best work far from sunlight.
