Alain Delon was placed under the judicial protection regime by a guardianship judge of the Montargis judicial court, we learned this Monday from a source close to the case, confirming information from BFM TV.
In a document that AFP was able to consult, justice places Alain Delon “under judicial protection” and appoints a legal representative, who must assist the 88-year-old actor “for his medical follow-up and for the choice of practitioners ensuring its follow-up.
On January 10, the lawyers of Alain Delon and his eldest son Anthony requested the “protection” of the cinema legend, “for health reasons”, indicated the Montargis prosecutor’s office. A medical assessment carried out by a doctor mandated by the public prosecutor was then carried out on January 13, according to these same lawyers.
“Dissensus” between his three children
The order dated January 25 from the guardianship judge notes that “dissensus exists between Alain Delon’s three children, particularly regarding his medical care and the practitioners in charge of his follow-up.” “It is necessary, in view of the conflict surrounding the adult, that a judicial agent for the protection of adults, neutral and impartial, be designated to assist them,” adds the text.
The safeguard of justice is a short-term protection measure (one year renewable once), which allows an adult to be represented to carry out certain acts of everyday life, specifies the service-public.fr site. Since the beginning of January, the star’s three children have been waging a fratricidal war, through the media and justice, each swearing to want to protect the cinema legend, in declining health since a stroke in 2019.
” This is a good thing “
His two sons, Anthony, 59, and Alain-Fabien, 29, believe that Delon is being manipulated by their sister, Anouchka, 33, who would have hidden his state of health from them and would like to bring him back to Switzerland. Me Frank Berton, who represents the actor’s daughter, told AFP that Anouchka “is as happy as I am that justice has appointed a representative and has taken up the difficulty. This is a good thing “.
