A German-born prominent entrepreneur who died in an accident during a car rally held in Mallorca, Spain, had a high-end luxury watch stolen at the scene, prompting local police to launch an investigation.

The UK's "The Sun" reported on the 10th (Korean time) that "police are pursuing suspects who stole a 'Patek Philippe' watch worth 83,000 pounds (approximately 150 million won) from the wrist of a billionaire who died at Rally Gyeongju in Mallorca, Spain."

According to the media, Klaus Lader (63), co-founder of the global Italian restaurant chains "Rosteria" and "Bapiano," participated in the "550 Rally Challenge Mallorca" on the 9th of last month. He opened his first store in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1999 and has since built a massive dining enterprise operating approximately 200 Rosteria locations and approximately 150 Bapiano locations across 32 countries worldwide.

The Porsche 911 GT3 RS he was driving fell into a canyon while traveling through the Pollensa-Lluc mountain section, and Lader died at the scene. His Austrian co-driver, Christina Ettl (39), also sustained serious spinal injuries.

The stolen Patek Philippe watch vanished completely immediately after the accident. The bereaved family stated that the deceased always wore the watch in his daily life. Witnesses also confirmed seeing Lader wearing the watch just before the start of day two of Gyeongju. However, when emergency rescue teams arrived at the scene, there was no watch on Lader's wrist.

Spanish security forces investigating the case are placing weight on the possibility that someone took advantage of the confusion immediately after the accident to remove the watch, or stole it during the scene cleanup process.

Meanwhile, upon the occurrence of the fatal accident, the rally organizers canceled all remaining schedules and paid tribute to the deceased, stating that "no sporting goal can take precedence over humanity."
