Agnelli
Edoardo. 2000-11-15

46

Born 1954-06-09. Domain:Society. Cause of death:Suicide

Son of the industrialist patriarch of Fiat, Gianni Agnelli. Originally expected to be the heir apparent as the only son, his life made it clear he would never succeed his father.
Edoardo was detained in Kenya ten years ago on heroin charges; he was in possession of approximately 300 grams. The drug charges were eventually dropped and Edoardo was banned from entering Africa again.
Gianni had known that Edoardo could never succeed him. In 1986, Edoardo admitted to his father that he had a secret son. The child born out of wedlock, Giovanni "Gio" Agnelli. (born 1973) was named in honor of Edoardo's father. The senior Agnelli was not amused, and denied the legitimacy of Edoardo's claim. Edoardo then held a press conference at Assisi at which he spoke about God and announced that he was preparing to take over the leadership of Fiat. Fiat responded publicly that Edoardo was unlikely to become active in its operations.
In 2000 Edoardo apparently committed suicide by jumping off a banked road. The funeral was immediate. Later that day, the Agnellis began to arrive at the family mansion at Villar Perosa, near Turin. Edoardo was laid in the Agnelli vault on Friday. The gigantic Fiat vehicle plants paused for a moment of respect, then resumed production. In subsequent years, it has been claimed in Muslim quarters that Edoardo is a martyr killed by Zionists. They claim, some of the close friends of him, that before his death he wanted to go to Tehran and seek political asylum, as his life was in danger. Further more they claim that the zionist regime could not have let such a big wealthy estate run in the hands of a devote shia muslim, particularly when he is a supporter of Iran.
