Two years later, Thor Batista was acquitted by the court in Rio de Janeiro. Judges assessed Thor's defense appeal following his conviction in June 2013 and found the prosecution's evidence to be dubious.
As a result of the accident, Eike's son even appeared on Forbes magazine's website in a list of global billionaire scandals. The publication at the time said he was the “playboy son of the seventh richest person in the world at the time.”
Thor also had a Ferrari impounded by DetranRJ in 2012 because he was driving without the vehicle's front license plate. According to the agency, in addition to the outstanding fines before the incident, the young man paid three daily stays worth a total of R$117.12 (R$39.04 each). The vehicle left the yard properly registered.
The boy became known for spending a lot of money on Rio's nightlife. Showing off was part of the boy's routine as he frequently visited nightclubs and strutted around the capital, Rio de Janeiro, in luxury cars.
The businessman admitted to using anabolic steroids in an interview with the newspaper Extra in 2014. The man, who weighed 105 kg and was 1.90 m tall at the time, attracted public attention because of his physical condition.
“family man”
Thor and Lunara Campos began dating in May 2014, when they were 22 and 28, respectively. When he started the relationship, Batista gave an interview to the website Ego: “We met in Porto Alegre, she lives there. I'm excited! She came from Monaco straight to Rio Grande do Sul and, as if that wasn't enough.” “She is beautiful and 1.76 m tall.”
