Me Christophe Ayela, one of the two lawyers who spoke in the media claiming to represent Alain Delon, will no longer speak on behalf of the star, announced the actor’s son, Anthony Delon. “Mr. Aleya speaks on behalf of my father without authorization. He is not her lawyer. My father decided to let him know by [un] letter” dated Sunday, which AFP was able to consult, said Anthony Delon.
“I consider that I can no longer calmly defend Alain Delon. Today [mercredi], I was prevented from seeing him in Douchy (Loiret), where the actor lives, commented Me Ayela, contacted by AFP. I draw the consequences, I stop. »
Lawyers at the heart of the family quarrel
Regarding the letter signed by the hand of the actor dismissing Me Ayela, the latter claims to have “learned that on Sunday, at [son] unknowingly, Alain Delon would have signed a paper written by the lawyers of Anthony and Alain-Fabien [Delon, les deux fils de l’acteur], Masters Bedossa and Watrin. A paper that he probably should not have read,” he adds.
The lawyer, who says he has “carried the voice of Alain Delon for five years” and was also until recently the advisor to his daughter Anouchka, announces his intention to “seize the bar” on this subject and consider “a complaint for forgery and use of forgery, if [Alain Delon] did not understand what he signed. Contacted by AFP, Me Laurence Bedossa, who also claimed to be the actor’s advisor, did not immediately comment.
