(Paris) The son of French star Alain Delon, Anthony, said Friday that his attacks against his half-sister were not linked to questions of inheritance, but to the place where the actor will spend the end of his life, accusing the latter of wanting to repatriate him to Switzerland for financial reasons.
“I want to start by putting out a fire […] because all these stories about money, inheritance, these speculations, it makes me sick, because it’s not that”, assured Anthony Delon on the television channel CNews, the day after an interview in the Paris Match magazine where he accuses Anouchka of manipulating their father, whose health has been declining since a cardiovascular accident in 2019.
In response, the 88-year-old cinema icon announced that he wanted to file a complaint against his son, criticizing a “media outburst” and a desire to harm him and his daughter, who also announced a defamation complaint. , slanderous denunciation, threats and harassment.
“The succession is settled,” assures Anthony Delon. “My sister, she has 50% of all my father’s fortune. My brother (Alain-Fabien) and I are what we call the reserve share, so we have 25%,” explains the eldest of the siblings.

On the other hand, “my brother and I want my father’s wishes to be respected” by leaving him in his home in Douchy-Montcorbon, he explains, accusing their sister of wanting to “bring back” the star to Switzerland, where he resides administratively and has been a citizen since 1999.
Anouchka’s “anxiety” “is that my father will be redefined as French, French citizen”, which would result in “an enormous tax” post-mortem, he argues.
Asked about the complaint of the actor from “Guépard” or “Plein Soleil”, Anthony Delon once again denounces manipulation of Anouchka.
He repeats that the Montargis prosecutor, Jean-Cédric Gaux, will request “judicial protection” for the actor who must be “put under guardianship”.
The prosecutor, for his part, indicated to AFP that he “does not wish to comment on what concerns a confidential exchange with the lawyers of Alain Delon and his children” and recalled “that respect for the dignity of the human person (was) a fundamental right.”
