Gardel e o golpe do “conto do tio”

Sylvia Colombo

Cada revelação que se faz sobre o passado do mais famoso cantor de tangos argentino, Carlos Gardel, é motivo de intensas discussões e revisões. Só a polêmica sobre se nasceu mesmo em Tacuarembó, no Uruguai, ou em Toulouse, na França, já rendeu livros, longos ensaios, debates acalorados e ainda pode ser tema de longas noites de argumentação entre amigos em mesas de bares e restaurantes.

A mais nova polêmica foi revelada nesta semana com uma matéria do jornal “Pagina12”, que adiantou as revelações de um duo de pesquisadores forenses que trabalha com documentos e evidências deixadas por Gardel há nada menos que 14 anos. Segundo Raul Torre e Juan José Fenoglio, dois peritos em criminalística, Gardel fez de tudo para esconder seu passado pré-fama. Isso porque foi, nada menos, que um golpista que aplicou golpes leves, mais ou menos como os dois vilões do filme “Nove Rainhas”.

Torre e Fenoglio compararam as impressões digitais que Gardel deixou em 1923 no consulado uruguaio em Buenos Aires, em 1923, quando foi renovar seu passaporte, com fichas criminais da época. Acabaram chegando à conclusão de que elas coincidem perfeitamente com as de um estafador que, em 1915, aplicava nos bares da capital argentina o chamado “cuento del tío”.

O golpe era assim. O estafador entrava no bar ou restaurante, e começava a contar a história de que tinha ganho uma herança de um tio distante, numa província. Dizia que não tinha como pagar a passagem para ir buscá-la e prometia uma recompensa a quem o ajudasse. Inevitavelmente, alguém se prontificava, comovido com o conto. O golpista deixava o local com a grana e simplesmente desaparecia.

A tese de que Gardel pudesse ter antecedentes criminais não é nova. É sabido, por exemplo, que, em 1922, a seu pedido, o então presidente da Argentina, Marcelo T. de Alvear, tinha ordenado que a polícia destruísse documentos com antecedentes penais do cantor. Havia uma teoria que dizia, inclusive, que ele teria ficado preso na longínqua e gélida prisão de Ushuaia. Até hoje, porém, provas desse passado negro não haviam sido apresentadas.

Agora, Torre e Fenoglio querem realizar testes de DNA, a partir dos restos mortais de Gardel que estão no cemitério da Chacarita, em Buenos Aires. A partir disso, seria possível realizar mais comparações com evidências de outros crimes da época. A medida já levantou polêmica, pois defensores do cantor não querem que esse passado seja reavivado.

O episódio é mais uma amostra de como seguem vivos os mitos na Argentina. Em poucos meses, tivemos a celeuma sobre a amizade de Borges e Bioy Casares, levantada pela viúva Maria Kodama, e a discussão sobre a nota de 100 pesos com o rosto de Eva Perón. Gardel, apesar de ser uma figura de mais consenso nacional, não está livre de ver sua trajetória colocada em discussão.

  10. In these days of austerity and relative stress and anxiety about getting debt, many people balk against the idea of using a credit card in order to make acquisition of merchandise or even pay for a vacation, preferring, instead to rely on this tried as well as trusted approach to making settlement – raw cash. However, if you possess the cash on hand to make the purchase in full, then, paradoxically, that is the best time just to be able to use the card for several factors.

Besides that, fantastic blog!

  27. Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

Nelson is a lower tier option though, despite the fact that a new Collective Bargaining Agreement will almost never be easy, but it would give the Packers a one-dimensional passing team. I like Mr Kevin because he’s very reliable, very punctual. Jarvis Jones played reasonably well for a rookie. 2 yards per catch.
