For more than a week, the star’s three children have been waging a fratricidal war, through the media and justice, each swearing to want to protect the legend of French cinema, in declining health since a stroke in 2019.

His sons, Anthony, 59, and Alain-Fabien, 29, believe that Delon is manipulated by their sister, Anouchka, 33, who allegedly hid his state of health from them. And would like to bring him back to Switzerland to avoid paying too much tax on the inheritance, accuses Anthony.

Anouchka, for her part, blames her brothers for endangering the life of the actor The swimming pool a you Cheetah and claims to have wanted to take their father to Switzerland so that he could continue to be treated there.

Things accelerated on Wednesday, with the transmission to the prosecutor by the lawyers of Anthony and Alain Delon of requests that he be placed under judicial protection “for health reasons”.

The prosecution took public note of these requests on Thursday, and announced that it had contacted “an authorized doctor […] in order to assess the situation of Alain Delon,” said the Montargis prosecutor, Jean-Cédric Gaux, in a press release, assuring that this procedure will not be the subject of “any other communication.”

In focus, a possible measure of judicial protection, the system provided by law for adults who are unable to preserve their personal or property interests on their own.

Twilight

Will this judicial measure sign a truce in the war between the future heirs, which casts a shadow over the twilight of the icon?

Thursday again, in Paris MatchAlain-Fabien Delon, the youngest of the siblings who lives in Douchy (Loiret) with his father, accused his sister of exercising “control” over their father.

And also testified to the weakening of the actor: “Sometimes he is there, sometimes elsewhere, there are days with and days without […]. He realizes, and he forgets, taking refuge in his thoughts. Most of the time, you don’t really know what’s going on in your head.”

Anouchka, for her part, believes that Alain Delon’s medical care is very insufficient in France, and that his Swiss doctors must be able to examine him again and resume treatments otherwise they will put his life in danger.

On the legal front, on December 22, Alain-Fabien filed a complaint against Anouchka for “abuse of weakness” to the detriment of their father.

Anthony announced to Paris Match the filing of a complaint against her, accusing her of not having informed him of their father’s failure in “five cognitive tests” between 2019 and 2022.

The degree of seriousness of the state of health of Alain Delon, one of the last legends of cinema, remains a family secret. A Swiss citizen since 1999, the man would like, according to his son, Anthony, to end his life in his home in Douchy.

Retired from the sets, Alain Delon has only made a few rare public appearances for years, he was seen at the funeral of Jean-Paul Belmondo in September 2021 and has not spoken since his three children fell apart publicly.

Thursday, Brigitte Bardot gave him her support: “It is lamentable mediocrity to tarnish the image of Alain, a sublime icon who represents France with panache!”, she published on her social networks.
