Today marks the 26th anniversary of the death of Eduardo Agni, the heir to the richest family in Italy.
Eduardo's father was the powerful businessman and senator Gianni Agni. Eduardo's mother was a Jewish aristocrat.
Eduardo gained management ability to inherit Fiat, Ferrari, Juventus and a host of other enterprises owned by the Agnelli family.
However, these plans were interrupted when Eduardo discovered the Holy Quran while studying at Princeton University. He converted to Islam, and then accepted Shiite Islam in the 1980s following the victory of the Islamic Revolution. He visited Iran, met with Imam Khomeini and prayed behind the slain Seyed Ali Khamenei.
Upon his return, a Jewish journalist wrote a sensational piece about Edwards' conversion to Islam, creating a scandal that put his succession at stake. After many fabricated stories about him, he was eventually disinherited.
The inheritance was passed to his cousin Giovanni, with whom he was fine due to the fact that Giovanni also believed in political reforms and did not have the typical oligarch figure. However, Giovanni quickly contracted cancer and also quickly died of it in his mid-30s, leading to suspicions of cancer in order to rule him out.
The inheritance was then passed on to Edwards' nephew, 20-year-old John Alken. Eduardo's sister married a man from the wealthy Jewish Alkan dynasty. While his sister was Talmudic Jewish since their mother was Jewish, marrying into another wealthy Jewish lineage made John Alkan even more favored by the Zionist Jews who surrounded the Agnelli family and their fortune.
Eduardo began to protest against Alkan's appointment, both due to the lack of skills the 20-year-old had and his Israeli political leanings.
Eduardo's body was found under a bridge in Turin, Italy on November 15, 2000.
