If the pact with the prosecutors on social services, for the heir of the Agnelli dynasty it will be a formidable break. Of course, the fiscal troubles will archive, but the end of the moral superiority of the “Real House” will be sanctioned. Who leaves only rubble.
It doesn’t seem true. The head of the Fufiat, John Elkanndescendant of the royal lineage of Lambsrisks assignment to social services at the Turin Salesians. We are well beyond the fall of the gods, we are at their reuse in public services, not excluding toilets. A parable is accomplished, a decline with various steps descended one after the other.
At one time, just imagining the Lord of the Fiat sentenced to social services would have been a crime of blasphemy: you could not even say it as a joke and dare to make us a paradoxical gag. Mortal sin, criminal offense. All that happened in Turin was in a frank zone, or in any case overprotect, as under the glass bell of the Madonne. There was no political leader or company leader who “could not fail to know” what happened in his kingdom; Except for him, the lawyer, who although omnipotent and therefore omniscient, could not know, by virtue of a divine ignorance that allowed the exemption from the worries that concern the mortals.
Berlusconi, De Benedetti and the lawyer
To stop only at the three famous entrepreneurs of the past, Berlusconi He ended up in the sights of the judges and remained for a lifetime, going to social services; De Benedetti He was careful and talked about but then escaped her for the reasons we intuition; Gianni Agnelli remained unharmed, Legibus Solutusdissolved by any risk of contamination both from the facts and from the convictions of his subordinates, as happened to the thaumaturgi kings invested directly by God. But the decline of Fiat began since he was.
Elkann before the judges
Now you see Agnelli’s nephew who risks ending up for a year from the Salesians for his social rehabilitation; In other words, he is prescribed a therapy of humility to detoxify himself from cynicism, albagia and the presumption of immunity he had enjoyed, in hereditary, for too many years.
In return, the go -ahead for the request for suspension of the provision for alleged tax fraud, with the test, as part of the investigations relating to the inheritance of the grandmother, obtained from the Turin Prosecutor of Turin, Marella Agnelliwidow of Gianni Agnelli, who died in 2019. Also for his brothers Lap And Geneva There was the green light to the request for storage for the crimes of unfaithful declaration and scam to the detriment of the state.
The president of Stellantisif it goes to the condemnation, will have to endure the humiliation of the assignment to social services and pay 183 million euros to the taxman. And he will have to return to Turin, the city that Fufiat had abandoned in his mutation in FCAmerged into Stellantis.
From production to financial engineering
In addition to the corporate collapse on all fronts, with Elkann, the definitive reduction of Fufiat from industrial and automotive production company to financial group, with pre -eminent speculative interests, in which “real” products are only a secondary variable of financial transactions, has been completed. Employees, needless to say, remain the last wheel of the cart.
A family saga at the terminus
The saga of Lambs It ends in the worst possible ways. The premature death of Giovannino Agnelliconsidered the only heir with an entrepreneurial sensitivity, after the tragic disappearance of Edoardoand the long trail of “curses”; Then the Agnelli internationalized in the family, thanks to the three Elkann, sons of the interviewer and writer Alain and of Margherita Agnelli.
The Elkann are a powerful Parisian Jewish family, young people were born to New York. Once the best known of the three era Laplegendary character, often caricatized. The sister more secluded Genevawhich, although sitting on a billionaire treasure, enjoyed public funding for films that collected much less than what was received.
The judicial dispute of the Elkann with her mother, Margherita, on the inheritance and succession: Raggiri, deceptions and terrible statements of her son John against her mother is particularly bad. An exemplary story of the worst familism that borders on parental cannibalism.
Fiat, private profits and social losses
He remained proverbial, even if never said in the “newspapers”, that the Fiat socialized the losses but privatized profits. He used the Italian brand but was ready to beat foreign flag and move abroad for fiscal convenience and labor: a intermittent and unilateral patriotismvalid for users but not for the company.
The decline of the Italian industry
Behind this story there is not only the sunset of the Fiat and the Reale Agnelli family. There is the decline of the Italian industrythe end of the national brands, of which only a few large food companies survive, more what remains in design and fashion. The rest is in foreign hands.
It remains a people of waiters and seamstresses represented by an elite of chefs and stylists, cheered by the melodes. But if the alternative is the Dinasty of the Agnelli-Elkannlives the proletarian Italy and, on an entrepreneurial level, Honor to Giorgio Armani.
