Republican Republican (LR) lawmaker Olivier Dasau, grandson of the founder of Dasota Group, who makes the French fighter’Rafal,’ died in a helicopter crash.

Reuters reported that Dazor died on the 7th (local time) in Tuque near Deauville, Calvados, in northwestern France.

For the weekend, Congressman Darus took a helicopter he owned to Deauville, where the villa was located, and was displaced as soon as he took off to return to Oise. The accident helicopter was not a product, but was identified as a Eurocopter AS350.

The pilot also lost his life in this accident. There were no other passengers, AFP said.

French President Emmanuel Macron posted a post on Twitter and expressed his condolences, saying, “He lost the chief who never knew to stop serving his country for life,” and “His sudden death was a big loss.”

After graduating from Air Force School, Dasau entered the political world for the first time as a Parisian city councilor in 1977. After being elected as a member of the House of Representatives in Oise in 2002, he has maintained his position.

He is the eldest grandson and heir to Marcel Dasota, the founder of Dasota Group.

Forbes, an economic magazine in the United States, ranked the net worth of some lawmakers at $7.3 billion (about 820 trillion won) and ranked 336th in the world for the rich.

Daso Air, a member of the Daso Group, is a representative French aviation and defense company. It produces’Falcon’ business jets, Mirage fighters, and multi-purpose fighters Rafal. Among them, Rafale is the flagship fighter of the French Air Force and Navy, and can launch with nuclear warhead missiles. Air forces from other countries such as India are also imported and operated.

The Daso Group is also a media conglomerate that owns the center-right-oriented’Le Figaro’, one of the two major French daily newspapers. The somewhat family is considered one of the most influential families in France.

In the 1980s, Congressman Dasau served as the management of Dasau Airlines. In the 2000s, he was involved in the management of media companies owned by Dasota Group, such as Il-il Le Figaro, but after becoming a lawmaker, he withdrew from management and devoted himself to politics to avoid conflicts of interest.
