A real arsenal. Investigators discovered and seized 72 firearms and more than 3,000 rounds of ammunition from Alain Delon, in Douchy-Montcorbon, in Loiret, announced the Montargis public prosecutor on Tuesday February 27. The gendarmes from the Orléans research section also discovered the existence of a shooting range on the actor’s property, continues the press release from the prosecution.
“The first investigations revealed that Alain Delon did not have any authorization allowing him to possess a firearm”, specifies the public prosecutor. It was a report from the agent receiving the actor’s legal protection measure which made it possible to launch a preliminary investigation, after he noted the presence of one of these weapons at the actor’s home. The preliminary investigation into charges of illegal distribution of weapons, acquisition and illegal possession of category A, B and C weapons, entrusted to the research section of the Orléans gendarmerie, continues.
On January 25, a guardianship judge placed Alain Delon, 88, very weakened by illness, under the judicial protection regime, so that a representative could determine “his medical follow-up”. Recluse in his property in Douchy, this legendary actor is caught in the conflict between his children, who each swear to look out for their best interests. Anthony, 59, and Alain-Fabien Delon, 29, want him to stay in this village. Anouchka Delon, 33, pleads for him to return to Switzerland where, according to her, he would be looked after much better.
