Lost radio contact – plane carrying “McFit” millionaire Schaller missing

Date:

A small plane with five German passengers on board is missing off the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. It would be German fitness millionaire and Loveparade boss Rainer Schaller (53), his partner Christiane Schikorsky and their children Aaron and Finja and a man named Marcus Kurreck.

The private plane was en route from Mexico to the airport of the province of Limón on Friday when contact was broken at 6:00 p.m. (2:00 a.m. CEST Saturday), Costa Rican Public Security Minister Jorge Torres said.

The machine suddenly lost connection with the control tower at Barra de Parismina airport and all measures were immediately taken to locate it, Torres said.

Due to the falling night and bad weather, the search was called off after a few hours. It should continue on Saturday.

“McFit” and Love Parade
Schaller is the founder and owner of the McFit fitness chain, which has 250 studios across Europe. His fortune is estimated at 250 million euros. In 2010, when 21 people died, Schaller made headlines as the organizer of the Love Parade. During the trial, he described his role at the Love Parade as more representative. He met mayors, spoke at press conferences and gave interviews. He had a lot of confidence in the leadership.

After the accident, Schaller was never examined. According to investigations by the prosecutor’s office, he had no influence on what the Public Prosecution Service considered to be inadequate planning or unlawful approval of the Technoparade.
