Pietro Paolo Supino is a Swiss lawyer and publisher. He is Chairman of the Board of Directors of the TX Group (formerly Tamedia), one of the largest Swiss media companies, including the Tages-Anzeiger and the Tribune de Genève. He attended the 2012 and 2019 Bilderberg meetings.

Background

As the grandson of the art collector Werner Coninx and the son of his daughter Rena Coninx, Supino belongs to a publishing family that holds the majority of Tamedia AG and runs the company in the fifth generation. His father Ugo Supino, interned in Switzerland as a member of the Italian Resistance during the Second World War, was a director at Pirelli and Alfa Romeo. At the age of six, his parents separated, and Supino moved to Zurich with his mother and sister.

Education

Supino studied law and economics at the University of St. Gallen and at the London School of Economics. In [[1994] he wrote his dissertation on the topic of legal structuring with trust from a Swiss perspective. He is the holder of the Zurich bar certificate and a Master of Laws.

Supino is a Swiss-Italian dual citizen. He is married, father of two children and lives in Zurich.

Career

As a lawyer, Supino worked for the law firm Bär & Karrer in Zurich and as a management consultant for the management consultancy McKinsey & Company in Zurich. He was also a founding partner of the Family-Office Private Client Partner in Zurich. Supino's work at Bär & Karrer came under criticism because he was involved in the founding of a dubious offshore company called the "Moonstone Trust" in 1998. However, the investigations against the then client of Bär & Karrer were discontinued.

Tamedia

Supino became a member of the Tamedia Board of Directors in 1991, its vice-chairman in 2002 and finally – as successor to Hans Heinrich Coninx – its chairman in 2007. Under his leadership, Tamedia developed into the largest private media company in Switzerland. Before taking over the presidency of the Board of Directors of Tamedia, he attended the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York. In the course of the restructuring into a holding company, Tamedia AG was renamed "TX Group AG" in 2020.

Tamedia owns a wide range of daily and weekly newspapers and magazines in different languages. One of Tamedia's most important publications is the Tages-Anzeiger, a daily newspaper based in Zurich. Tamedia also owns the Tribune de Genève, the free national newspaper 20 Minuten/20 Minutes, the weekly financial newspaper Finanz und Wirtschaft and several other newspapers and magazines,.

In 2012, Supino became a member of the Board of Visitors at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York. From 2013-2015 was a member of the international advisory board of the Italian media company RCS MediaGroup.

Covid propaganda

The Tribune de Gèneve in 2020 on Covid dissidents: "These demonstrations bring together a motley crowd composed of anti-vaccine activists, conspiracy theorists, citizens genuinely concerned about the restrictions related to Covid-19 but also, and increasingly according to the authorities, far-right sympathizers."

In June 2021, minimizing the effects of the "vaccines": "Almost everyone, almost everyone has experienced it firsthand in the past few weeks. Or has acquaintances in the environment who reported about it: headache, slight fever, malaise. Some lay in bed for a day after their vaccination, others even for several days. Especially those vaccinated with the substance of the US manufacturer Moderna tell about unexpectedly severe flu-like ailments after the second dose".

In September 2021 the Tages-anzeiger wrote to propagandize for vaccine passports: "Against the dictatorship of the minority - Italians see the mandatory Covid certificate as a blessing - The extended Green Pass is highly popular in the country. This is also shown by the amazing flop of the opponents of vaccination and skeptics of vaccination.It is quite possible that the introduction of the Green Pass has prompted several million hesitants to vaccinate more quickly. This is not an sneaky way to introduce obligation to vaccinate through the back door, as it is always said, just an emphatic invitation to a new, still very relative normality.'
