Paul Dozsa

As the video was shot in Sydney, everybody assumed that it was an Australian in it. However, the man in the video was a Hungarian Chess Master named Paul Dozsa. He arrived in Australia in early 1965 and was already wanted by police in Hungary, Indonesia and by Interpol.

Dozsa described himself as a Hungarian nobleman and was always very well dressed wearing a cravat and gave the impression that he was a person of wealth. He further claimed to be the owner of a string of high-end fine dining restaurants.

In those days Dozsa stayed in the finest 5 star hotels, checking in under a variety of names in cities all over Australia. He consistently left before paying his bill. He also regularly dined and wined in Australia's best restaurants.His knowledge of food and expensive wines was unquestionable and added weight to his claims of nobility.Of course from time to time he ended up in jail.

Every time he guaranteed to the magistrate that he was extremely sorry for his actions, complimented the restaurant as serving the best food and wine he had ever had - his stated remorse led to a lighter sentence. Dozsa considered himself as the most famous person in the world for not paying restaurant bills and he told everyone he met of his achievements. Some considered him a likeable rogue, while others thought that he was a serial pest and a menace to society.

His response was simple "everything you say is right - I agree it is very stupid - I have learned my lesson and he guaranteed it would never happen again". P.C.Dozsa was before the courts on at least 150 occasions but most offences never got that far. Dozsa had many excuses, such as his wallet was in the car or he often wrote bad cheques which bounced, or he would say my name is Paul Dozsa I never pay my bills and I am broke, it is no use calling the police as you will never be paid. Not wanting a major disturbance in a quality restaurant he often was allowed to leave quietly by management rather than have an arrest.

Dozsa took great delight in telling everyone that he had perfected his crime. He would eat and drink then he said he was very ill and asked for an ambulance to be called. The manager would be very concerned of course and Dozsa was often taken to hospital.

He then recovered and of course the bill never got settled. He was caught one evening when the same ambulance driver picked up Dozsa again and twigged something was amiss, and thus Dozsa was back in prison. Dozsa sometimes rented a luxurious apartment paying some advanced rent, hired expensive furniture, sold it and disappeared. The list goes on and on.......

After a number of years a new excuse he explained to magistrates was that the Hungarian Army had implanted a device in his head which made him commit offences. This worked well for Dozsa as he was often sent for psychiatric assessment instead of jail. It was very sad that after referring to this on so many occasions that he was in fact convinced it was true.

Dozsa went on to represent Australia in chess. Certainly a memorable rogue.
