Calisto Tanzi (17 November 1938 – 1 January 2022) was an Italian businessman. He founded Parmalat in 1961, after dropping out of college. Parmalat collapsed in 2003 with a €14bn ($20bn; £13bn) hole in its accounts in what remains Europe's biggest bankruptcy.[1] In 2008 Tanzi was found to have embezzled an estimated €800 million from the company, and was jailed for fraud.[2] Although sentenced to up to 18 years in prison, Tanzi served just over two years in jail and then was placed under house arrest.
