Bracht family<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Bracht family line occupies a significant place in the heritage of the Belgian nobility, with assets valued at approximately 71,957,000 euros<\/strong>. Specifically linked to Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Internationale of Plantations<\/a> and Finance (Sipef<\/strong>), this family has long held a leading role as principal shareholder of this colonial plantation company. It wasn't until 2013 that Baron Theo Bracht reoriented ownership, transferring all his shares to his daughters Priscilla, Theodora and Victoria.<\/p>\n\n\n

The family's historic home, Ch\u00e2teau Calesberg in Schoten<\/strong>It is also of strategic importance as the headquarters of Sipef. The latter has grown into a conglomerate of operations agricultural<\/a> amounting to more than 65,000 hectares.<\/strong> Currently, the Antwerp-based holding company Ackermans & van Haaren <\/a>is the main shareholder with a stake of 26.8%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1978, the family was marked by a tragic event: Charles-Victor Bracht<\/strong> was kidnapped<\/a> in an Antwerp garage by Marcel \"Dexter\" Van Tongelen, who demanded a ransom for his release. His body was found murdered on April 10, 1978, while negotiations for his release were underway. Two years later, in 1980, \"Dexter\" was sentenced to death by the Antwerp Assize Court, a sentence later commuted to life imprisonment. After thirteen years in prison, he was released and faded into the obscurity of public life. Since then, the Bracht family has preferred to stay out of the spotlight, with a fortune estimated at over 80 million euros .<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
