Overview
- Macri’s memoir, published nationwide this week, casts Franco Macri as both formative mentor and chief antagonist, often comparing him to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
- He recounts his 1991 kidnapping, saying he spent 14 days chained in a two‑meter box and resolved afterward to break from the family conglomerate.
- Macri says a psychiatrist informed him that his father was in a dementia process, which he believes fueled years of erratic, late‑night reversals and accusations.
- He describes a final lucid exchange in which Franco asked to be “taken out of this world,” a request Macri says he declined.
- The book includes headline‑grabbing anecdotes, from Franco gathering a reported $7 million ransom for his release to Donald Trump handing Macri a $100 million check in a failed New York venture, while offering no self‑criticism of the author.
