An assessment of the state of health of Alain Delon was carried out on Saturday January 13, indicated the lawyers of the actor and his son Anthony, however opposing the conclusions to be drawn from it. According to these lawyers, this expertise was carried out in the property of the 88-year-old actor, in Douchy (Loiret), which the Montargis public prosecutor’s office did not confirm. For Me Christophe Ayela, who claims to represent Alain Delon, which part of the family disputes, and previously represented his daughter Anouchka, the expertise proves that the actor’s discernment is not “in no case abolished”.

On the contrary, Me Laurence Bedossa, Anthony’s lawyer, who also claimed to defend his father, which is also contested, criticizes his regularity. “We can ask ourselves the question of this expertise carried out by a general practitioner who does not appear to be an expert before the Orléans Court of Appeal, the jurisdiction on which the Montargis court depends”, she argued in a press release. Furthermore, this expertise was carried out “in the presence of Anouchka Delon, a process not consistent with the regularity of an expertise where the doctor must be alone with the person concerned”, she insisted.

“Fueling the controversy”

These criticisms are only intended to “fuel the controversy”, Ms. Ayela was indignant in her own press release. Alain Delon “wished that only Ms. Anouchka Delon attend this examination, which her two brothers accepted without showing the slightest opposition”, he wrote. “During this visit, Mr. Alain Delon answered the questions of the medical expert, thus confirming that his discernment is in no way abolished, contrary to the slanderous accusations of which he is the subject in the media”, he continued. Thursday January 11, the public prosecutor in Montargis announced that he had seized “an authorized doctor (…) in order to assess Alain Delon’s situation”, specifying that this procedure would not be subject to“no further communication”.

The Delon siblings explode over the state of health of their father, weakened since a stroke in 2019. His sons Anthony, 59, and Alain-Fabien, 29, believe that he is being manipulated by their sister, 33, who allegedly hid his state of health from them. Anouchka would like to bring him back from France to Switzerland to avoid paying too much tax on the inheritance, Anthony accuses. Anouchka, for her part, blames her brothers for endangering the life of the actor The swimming pool and Cheetah and claims to have wanted to bring their father back to Switzerland so that he could continue to be treated there.
