Placed under reinforced guardianship on April 4, Alain Delon will ultimately not appeal the court decision, his lawyer announced on April 9, 2024.

Under judicial protection since the end of January, Alain Delon was finally placed under reinforced curatorship on April 4, 2024 by the judge at the Montargis judicial court.< /p>

A designated agent

The 88-year-old actor will not appeal this court decision, according to the words of his lawyer, relayed by BFMTV this April 9, 2024. Alain Delon "trusts the agent appointed by the court", adds his counsel.< /p>

The decision was taken during a hearing on Thursday April 4 at the Montargis judicial court.

Me Frank Berton, the lawyer of Anouchka Delon, the actor's daughter, described this reinforced curatorship as a "measure heavy", even "excessive", specifying that the curator of Alain Delon would be the "outside" who already assumed the role of legal representative.

"This is something for him that must be difficult to live with" because "he has not lost his head", Mr. Berton had estimated. According to him, Alain Delon "watches the news, he expresses himself. There was an expert opinion in January which said that there were certainly some alterations in his discernment but no abolition of his discernment".

The fratricidal war of the Delon children

Since the beginning of January, the star's three children have been waging a fratricidal war, through the media and the courts, each swearing they want to protect their father in declining health.

His sons, Anthony, 59 years old, and Alain-Fabien, 29 years old, believe that Alain Delon is being manipulated by Anouchka, 33 years old, who would have hidden his state of health from them and would like to bring him back in Switzerland.

According to her brothers, the thirty-year-old would like to repatriate her father to the Swiss country, of which he acquired nationality and where he resided regularly, to avoid paying significant inheritance taxes upon the death of their father.

The young woman, for her part, 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.
