Alain Delon: A Family Feud Over Guardianship and Inheritance

Alain Delon, the saga continues for the French actor. The cinema legend has been placed under "enhanced guardianship," a provision similar to legal guardianship aimed at supporting people with reduced physical and mental capacities. This is reported by sources close to the case, following the decision of a judge in Montargis, France. Delon was already placed under "legal guardianship" last January, due to his health condition. This measure, which has now been "converted into enhanced guardianship," was also established to protect the actor's assets following the war that broke out among his heirs: cross-accusations, lawsuits, and shocking headlines. His children, Anthony and Alain Fabien, claim that their father is being manipulated by their sister Anouchka, who allegedly concealed the actor's health problems to take him with her to Switzerland and take advantage of the country's favorable tax regime. Anthony Delon: "It's not true that my father Alain wants to die. My sister Anouchka is lying to everyone." The Estate: Real estate, huge earnings from film performances, brand management, and art collections: according to the latest estimates reported by Sole 24Ore, the actor's estate would amount to about 200 million. For this reason, the war among the children over the physical and mental conditions of the father also takes on a purely economic aspect. Last June, Delon, with the help of his daughter, would have auctioned off eighty works of art, for a total of more than 8 million euros. A sale that adds to the previous ones of collectible weapons, fine wines, and luxury cars. War among the heirs: Anouchka has sued her two brothers for privacy violation after they shared on social media the recording of a conversation between her and their father. The trial will take place in April 2025, according to a decision made today by a Parisian court. The two children of the French cinema legend, Anthony, 59, and Alain-Fabien, 29, will be judged for the use, retention, or disclosure of a document or recording obtained in violation of privacy. According to the accusation, on January 5th, they recorded a conversation at the actor's residence in Douchy, a hundred kilometers south of Paris, between the sister Anouchka, 33 years old, and the father, which they published two days later on their Instagram account. The Conversations: In the excerpt, a woman's voice is heard addressing a man she calls "dad." "They take you for a fool (...) and me for an idiot who manipulates her father," she is heard saying. Since January, the three children of the star have been at the center of a controversy concerning the health condition of the 88-year-old actor. Anthony and Alain-Fabien believe that their father is being manipulated by their sister Anouchka, who allegedly hid his health condition and wanted to take him back to Switzerland to avoid paying too much tax on the inheritance. Anouchka, for her part, criticizes her brothers for endangering the actor's life and claims to have wanted to take the father to Switzerland so that he can continue his treatment there.
