Padua Man, 67, Identified as Swedish DJ’s Unrecognized Son and Heir

A televised appeal coupled with a reader's tip pinpointed him before a looming inheritance deadline.

Overview

  • Marco of Padua came forward to Rai 3’s Chi l’ha visto? after recognizing himself in a childhood photo, citing a distinctive striped shirt.
  • A Corriere del Veneto reader sparked the breakthrough by mailing him an anonymous letter with the article and urging him to contact the program.
  • Malcolm, an early Black Swedish disc jockey who died of COVID-19 in 2021, had named the unrecognized son as heir in his will.
  • Reports say Swedish rules set a November 30, 2025 cutoff to claim the estate, initiating a time-sensitive cross-border inheritance process.
  • Mona, the widow, says she intends to meet Marco, who was born in London, raised in the Padua area, studied engineering without graduating, and is currently supported by social services.
