Ari Boulogne, who all his life has claimed to be the son of actor Alain Delon, was found dead at his home on Saturday at the age of 60. His companion, who was indicted on Monday for failure to assist a person in danger, was the target of serious accusations on Monday from the niece of Alain Delon.
The companion of Ari Boulogne, found dead on Saturday in his Parisian apartment and who claimed to be the son of actor Alain Delon, was indicted on Monday May 22, in particular for manslaughter and failure to assist a person in danger, a learned AFP from the Paris prosecutor’s office.
She was also indicted for transportation, possession, acquisition and sale of narcotics, according to this source. This woman had alerted the emergency services after having found the lifeless body of Ari Boulogne, whose real name is Christian Boulogne, 60 years old and hemiplegic, on Saturday at his Parisian home, in the 15th arrondissement. She was then taken into custody.
Invited to the Touche set not at my post this Monday, May 22, Marie Soubrier Boulogne, the niece of Alain Delon, who introduces herself as “the cousin” of Ari Boulogne with whom she was “raised as brother and sister” , made serious accusations against the latter’s companion, who “forbade him to see him for four years”.
“I was forbidden to see him, you know it’s like a narcissistic pervert. She made him believe in the honeymoon, she put him under control, she pushed him away from all of us (…) It’s a real work of perversion, long term (…) she was drugging him”, she declared in the face of somewhat doubtful columnists, and Cyril Hanouna to emphasize that these remarks only engaged his guest.
Born Christian Aaron Päffgen on August 11, 1962, Ari Boulogne, photographer by profession, has always considered himself the son of Alain Delon and German singer Nico, which the star of “La Piscine” has always denied, also refusing to undergo a DNA test.
Alain Delon had had a brief affair with Ari’s mother, nicknamed “the Garbo of punk”, top model, singer, actress and future muse of the Velvet Underground. Ari, as a child, was raised by the mother of actor Alain Delon, Edith Boulogne, whose name he bears and who had officially adopted him with her husband.
French justice “incompetent”
Ari Boulogne had filed a request for recognition of paternity before the court of Orleans, but the French justice had declared itself incompetent because of the place of residence of the star, located in Switzerland. He had filed an appeal.
He had recounted his chaotic life, dominated by an absence, that of the father, in a book published in 2001 (“Love never forgets”). Nico, his mother, got involved in the cinema of Andy Warhol or Philippe Garrel, making her son appear in several films.
Singer on the first album of the American rock group The Velvet Underground released in 1967, she then led a solo career for twenty years. As a teenager, Ari joined her on her tours and plunged with her into drugs and an “artistic fairyland” that took them to many countries. After Nico’s death in 1988, Ari Boulogne had made several stays in a psychiatric hospital and rehab.
This Saturday evening, Anthony Delon reacted on his social networks to the sudden death of Ari Boulogne, his possible half-brother.
“RIP,” he wrote on his Instagram account, adding a sober but touching caption: “Rest in peace Ari. A tragic destiny. Sadness. A thought this evening for his two children.
