Mr Vakakis was visiting his family in Greece during a short break from his studies in the United States.

Police have launched an investigation and said that the Porsche appeared to have been travelling significantly faster than the 75mph speed limit.

Mr Vakakis Jr had always been considered the future main heir of his father's empire which includes more than 80 shops around the world, 52 of them in Greece.

In 2015, Jumbo's annual profits amounted to £666million. Nobody from the Vakakis family has so far commented on the accident.
