It’s a family conflict that is resolved through interviews. Alain Delon’s daughter, Anouchka, assured this Sunday that she wanted to take her father to Switzerland so that “he could be treated” medically. “I have never gone against my father’s wishes,” the thirty-year-old defended herself on TF1, thus refuting the tax motivations of which her brother Anthony accuses her. “I’m my father’s daughter, I’m not a wallet’s daughter,” she said, swearing it wasn’t “about money.”
Friday, the latter criticized him for wanting to “bring back” their father to Switzerland – where the cinema legend resides administratively and of which he has been a citizen since 1999 –, to avoid “a huge tax” post-mortem, while Alain Delon, 88 years old, wishes to spend the end of his life in his home in Douchy-Montcorbon (Loiret). Comments made on CNews the day after a first interview in Paris Match where he accused Anouchka of manipulating their father whose state of health has been declining since a stroke in 2019.
“He is being followed in Switzerland for his illnesses”
“My father is being followed in Switzerland by specialists,” explained Anouchka Delon. “He has significant illnesses (…) He is being monitored in Switzerland for his illnesses, he has treatments,” she continued. “The only reason I wanted to bring him to Switzerland was so that he could be treated,” she defended herself. “I did not lie” about Alain Delon’s medical results, as his son claims, also insisted the woman who announced that she wanted to file a complaint on Thursday.
“He has been doing check-ups every two months for years. It was planned to do a check-up in August, except that my brother was fiercely opposed to it,” she said. Alain Delon “has treatment which is vital for him and, against the advice of doctors, he has decided to stop this treatment. I didn’t agree, I couldn’t do anything about it and it’s indecent to pass it off as a tax exile, to talk about money.”
