According to reports, the aircraft, which was allegedly being flown by Brazilian millionaire Luiz Claudio Galeazzi, crashed into a mobile phone shop after first colliding with a house’s chimney and then a building’s second level. Two of the at least seventeen injured are thought to be in critical condition. According to accounts, some people were injured as a result of breathing in smoke.
In the vicinity of cafes with tables and chairs set up along the road, images showed a fire starting. The reason behind the crash is yet unknown.
In 1995, Luiz Claudio Galeazzi’s father, Claudio Galeazzi, a prominent person in the sector in Brazil, established Galeazzi & Associados, a business restructuring firm, of which he was president.
Age 61 Luiz Claudio Galeazzi had already taken over as the company’s CEO after his father passed away from cancer in March 2023. Luiz Galeazzi was a business administration graduate from Fundacao Getulio Vargas (FGV-SP) with more than 25 years of corporate management experience.
Prior to joining Galeazzi & Associados, he served as president of factoring and agriculture firms. His covert manner was well known to his friends. Galeazzi & Associados gained notoriety for reorganizing large corporations in times of crisis, including BTG Pactual, Cecrisa, Artex, Mococa, GPA (Grupo Pão de Açúcar), and BRF.
Maria Leonor Salgueiro Galeazzi, Luiz’s mother, died in an airplane accident as wel in 2010. He was also the owner of that airplane. Particularly following his father’s retirement, Mr. Galeazzi rose to prominence in the consulting industry. He spent twenty-three years in the consultancy.
Some felt that because of Mr. Galeazzi’s experience working for many businesses and industries over the past ten years, his duties at the company evolved organically. As a result, the company continued to work on significant restructuring projects in Brazil.
In addition to his technical understanding of restructuring procedures, Mr. Galeazzi was skilled at expressing opinions, even in extremely difficult reorganization situations, according to businesspeople who knew him. While his net worth isn’t known, he was a millionaire.
