A light aircraft piloted by Romanian billionaire Dan Petrescu crashed into an empty office building near Milan on Sunday, killing him, his wife and their son, and all five others aboard, Italian media reported.

The single-engine Pilatus PC-12 had taken off from Milan’s Linate airport shortly after 1:00 pm (1100 GMT) headed for Olbia in the north of the Italian island of Sardinia.

It crashed just a few minutes later in San Donato Milanese, a town southeast of Milan, according to aviation agency ANSV, which has opened an investigation.

Witnesses said the plane was already in flames before it crashed into an office building undergoing renovations.

Petrescu, 68, was one of Romania’s richest men. He headed a major construction firm and owned a string of hypermarkets and malls. He also held Germany nationality, the Corriere della Sera newspaper reported.

Corriere and the AGI news agency said Petrescu’s 65-year-old wife, who also had French nationality, and their son Dan Stefano, 30, were killed, as well as a child.

Milan Mayor Beppe Sala and his San Donato counterpart Andrea Checchi headed to the scene.

Deputy prosecutor Tiziana Siciliano was quoted by Corriere as saying that the plane’s black box had been recovered.

Is it not better to die rich than to die in abject poverty?

If you die poor you died for no reason, so choose your death wisely.

a former northern governor died same way too?

This is just too bad

There is one thing in common between the poor and the rich "LIVING".

When you have too much money to purchase anything that comes in your mind, good food, name them.. Life becomes boring.

Seeking anything that makes you have fun becomes a priority.

See them buying F1 cars, Sky Diving, flying a plane etc... 50:50 is either life or death.


What a sad ending loosing your family to death in a day.

Rest In Peace ✌️

My our wealth not lead to our demise, amen.

RIP to him and his family

Omg! So bad

RIP to him and all that are gone with him.

The authorities should get to the bottom of this....

Cos I don't understand why a plane would just burst into flames

Hope he has other kids?

Rip to you all.


If him be crypto whale now and no body get access, na so him crypto stash go just burn.

Ije uwa

This life is vanity upon vanity

RIP brothers.
