The legal battle will not be launched. Anouchka Delon's lawyer confirmed this Thursday to RTL that his client will not appeal the decision of the Montargis judicial court which placed the 88-year-old actor under reinforced curatorship last week. She will thus follow the line of her father, whose lawyer Laurence Bedossa announced on Tuesday that he would not oppose the measure, at a time when the family is mired in a fratricidal war between the children of the filmmaker, for media and justice interposed.
The court's decision, which implies that the actor can no longer decide alone on the management of his property and his finances, is "excessive and humiliating", estimated last Friday Anouchka Delon's counsel, Me Frank Berton, at radio microphone. However, he indicated that his client was going to align with the decision of her father's lawyer. “If she doesn't appeal, we won't do it,” Anouchka Delon's counsel, Me Frank Berton, confirmed to the radio.
“Not lost your mind”
Last week, the lawyer deplored a “heavy measure”, a “last stage before being placed under guardianship”. Reinforced curatorship implies in particular that a curator manages the bank account and intervenes in its expenses. An expert report, rendered last January, showed that the cinema legend presented "certainly some alterations in his discernment, but no abolition of his discernment", pointed out Me Franck Breton, insisting that Alain Delon had "not lost my mind.”
Since the beginning of the year, the actor of “La Piscine” and “Le Cheépard” was placed under the regime of judicial protection, with a legal representative appointed “for his medical monitoring”. A path on which Anouchka Delon's lawyer would have wanted to pursue. Victim of a stroke in 2019, Alain Delon also suffers from cancer and heart problems. Her daughter has “only one objective, that is the health and well-being of her father,” her counsel insisted, accusing the thirty-year-old’s brothers of attacking her in a “shameful” way. .
The actor's two sons, Anthony, 59, and Alain-Fabien, 29, believe that their father is being manipulated by their 33-year-old sister, accused of hiding the octogenarian's state of health from them and to seek to bring it back to Switzerland, to avoid paying significant inheritance taxes in the event of death. A version denied by the person concerned, who sued her two brothers for invasion of privacy after the broadcast of the recording of a conversation between her and her father. The trial is scheduled to take place in April 2025 in Paris.
