These days, Radim Passer is in the news in the Czech press because Passerinvest, the investment group he founded in 1991 and which has experience in the construction sector, is making its third bond issue since 2014, for a value of 25 million euros. However, outside the borders of the Czech Republic, the billionaire “jumped” into the news not because of his businessman face, but because he filmed himself at more than 400 km / h on a German highway, taking a risk with it. to two years in prison, despite the fact that the section in question does not impose any speed limit. The case caused a stir and reached the courts, with the German courts deciding that there is no basis for a conviction and filing the case. No guilty.
But the defendant, after being acquitted, felt the need to put a stone on the subject with another video in which he reveals curious details of the case that so much ink ran. It should be remembered that, as reported here, the episode occurred at the end of 2021, with the dissemination of a video in which the businessman showed an entire team united in faith and in preparation to take a Bugatti Chiron to its maximum. speed. on a part of the motorway between Berlin and Hannover with a long straight.
It reached 414 km/h on the “highway”. prayed before and after
Now it is known, from the mouth of Passer himself, that this video was only made public because of the businessman’s English teacher, who apparently told him that content like that would make many lovers of speed and supercars happy. Passer agreed, but adds that the video would also have to reflect “the glory of God.” Hence the prayers and prayers before and after setting the Chiron’s speedometer to 250 mph.
As a curiosity, Tradim Passer’s religious experience is such that the businessman does not miss an opportunity to talk about the “Lord”. So much so that, 20 years ago, he founded a Christian organization called Maranatha, a name that in Aramaic means “the Lord is coming.”
The video that opens this piece -and which (appropriately) is titled “epilogue”- begins with the information that the businessman did not exceed 414 km/h, as can be seen at minute 5.13 of the film that documented the feat in the public road. (frame here), but 417 km/h. Differences aside, the truth is that the Czech was close to reaching the 420 km/h top speed that the Chiron reaches. But the fact that he did it on the open road, which could endanger other drivers on the A2, displeased the German authorities. Mainly because the video went viral, with views. And this could send the message that in freeway On German roads, where there are no speed limits, there are no limits to common sense either… So much so that the report on the event, prepared by the Upper Saxony police, suggested that Passer’s action could be compared to the of a participant in an illegal race. Therefore, it would be up to the court to decide whether or not the Czech millionaire should go behind bars.
It was traveling at 414 km/h on a German highway. He now risks two years in prison.
The judge understood that what the businessman did was “lawful and safe”, a decision that can create jurisprudence in the future, leading any other motorist to feel “protected” by the law to do the same thing that Passer did, in a public road. no speed limits. Without apparently showing any sign of repentance, the Czech guarantees that he never wanted to influence anyone to do something like this and hides behind the measures he adopted to minimize the danger of the “operation”. However, he admits that since he was a child he has been fascinated by “power, acceleration and top speed” and stresses that “I would never buy a car if I couldn’t legally push it to the limit”.
