of Augustus and Constantine Niarchos, slowly-I couldn’t anyway – but surely, went up the south side of the mountain. At 6.200 meters of altitude you have to as fit, and you’re to out of breath. The air contains half the oxygen, than that which exists on the surface of the sea and the climber must take deeper and bigger breaths. It wasn’t only that. The Niarchos foundation felt that it and all riders to such heights. Had dizziness, fatigue, anorexia and difficulty to sleep, all symptoms that you’re reminded that this eternal mountain, is not a place for humans. Only the younger son of the Greek tycoon, had a different point of view. He wanted at all costs to pull the top and gazes at the world from the height of 8.848 meters. On May 13, 1999, after days of climbing and stand Niarchos sat happy at the top, and unraveled what he was carrying with him.

On the night of 31 May, the baby of the dynasty Niarchos ate, and breathed inside the apartment on the first floor, in the building with the number 33 Grosvenor Square, a quantity of cocaine sufficient to kill twenty-five people.
