Concern for the fate of the entrepreneur and manager Samuele Landi, 59 years old from Arezzo, who after the collapse of his company Eutelia (telephony) in 2010 moved to the Emirates, settling with his family and where according to Italian justice he is a fugitive.
According to what was reported by La Nazione, Landi disappeared for a few days following a storm that overwhelmed and swept away the barge on which the Arezzo entrepreneur lived to experiment with a futuristic project of floating, off-shore homes, anchored in the open sea .
There were victims.
According to the Florentine newspaper, two deaths are confirmed, but two other bodies remain to be identified.
It is feared, in fact, that one could be him.
In these hours the comparative DNA test was started with a son of the missing entrepreneur and the nameless corpses recovered from the Emirati authorities.
In the last few hours, Samuele Landi's family members would have received from the local authorities an informal, verbal communication - but not with documents - regarding the correspondence of the fingerprints of one of the two unidentified bodies found at sea with the fingerprints of the manager.
This is what emerges from the lawyer Antonio Disegno.
The news arrives fragmentarily in Italy and Landi has been missing for about ten days, however this fingerprint match is what the lawyer would have received as information in the last hours from the family, his wife Laura and four children.
At this time, the lawyer Disegno would need Samuele Landi's signature for an appeal to the Supreme Court against the final sentence of 6 years and 6 months for the Roman collapse of Agile, a former Eutelia company.
"The appeal must be presented by February 17 and notified to 800 civil parties, if it is not done immediately there will not be time", said the lawyer for whom "10 days of disappearance at sea are still worrying".
Samuele Landi, former CEO of Eutelia, a failed telecommunications company, has lived in Dubai since 2010.
Meanwhile, the consulate general of Dubai, according to what we learn, is carefully following the story of the disappearance.
The Italian diplomatic headquarters is in contact with the family of the compatriot who reported the shipwreck.
In recent months Samuele Landi has been living on an artificial island, located in international waters off the coast of the Arabian Peninsula.
Experimental project, he himself explained, for a better quality of life away from the pollution of the cities and also from the impositions of governments attentive to collecting taxes that "fatten the state apparatus".
Parachutist, Italian enduro champion in the 80s, five participations in the Paris-Dakar, Samuele Landi as CEO of Eutelia developed the family company from Arezzo, taking it to the top of the telephony sector, where for some time he became one of the top national players .
Then came the 100 million euro crash and the investigation for fraudulent bankruptcy for which there was a final conviction in the Supreme Court in 2019 with an 8-year sentence for him and sentences for others too.
Landi was hit by an arrest warrant in 2010 but he was already in Dubai and never returned to Italy.
