Alain Delon’s daughter, Anouchka, assured Sunday that she wanted to take her father to Switzerland so that “he could be treated” medically, rejecting the tax motivations accused of by her brother Anthony, against whom she said she had filed a complaint for defamation . “I have never gone against my father’s wishes,” Anouchka Delon defended herself on TF1, during her first speech since the outbreak of this family war in the middle of the week.
“I am my father’s daughter, I am not a wallet’s daughter”
Friday, his older brother 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.
“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 why I wanted to bring him to Switzerland was so that he could be treated,” she defended herself. “He has been doing check-ups (health check-ups, editor’s note) 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 decided to stop this treatment. I did not agree, I could not do anything about it and It’s indecent to pass it off as a tax exile, to talk about money.” “I’m my father’s daughter, I’m not a wallet’s daughter,” she said. “It’s not a question of money.” “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.
