Members of the Straperlo scheme with famous athletes. Spain 1933. Two Dutch partners, Daniel Strauss, and Jules Perel with a third female partner, Lowann, the wife of Strauss. Straperlo was a scheme which tried to introduce in Spain in the 1930s a fraudulent roulette. The ensuing scandal was one of the several causes of the fall of the Republican government and the polarization of the parliament, which finally led to the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939).
