The daughter of Ari Boulon, who claims to be the son of Alain Delon, has asked a court in Geneva to allow a DNA sample to be taken from the star of French cinema, AFP reported, quoted by dariknews.bg, as referred to the lawyer Saskia Ditisheim.
"I confirm that I have applied," she told AFP, confirming a report in the Tribune de Geneva. The request is for the procedure to be taken quickly, which according to Swiss law can be ordered if the situation is urgent, for example evidence is endangered or there is a risk of disappearing, notes AFP.
The request is to take a DNA sample from Alain Delon to determine if he is the "grandfather" to her client. Ari Boulon's daughter is also represented by her French lawyer Richard Sedillo.
The representatives of the 16-year-old girl explained that the application was filed with the Civil Court of First Instance in Geneva, as Delon "lives" there according to the city's population register.
Ditisheim believes that the court should rule "quickly" after determining whether it has jurisdiction over the matter, before answering the substance of her request, notes AFP.
In September 2021, a French court decided on appeal that it was not "territorially incompetent" in a claim for recognition of paternity filed by Ari Boulon against the actor Alain Delon, as his residence in Switzerland.
Ari Boulon, whose real name is Christian Boulon, was found dead in May 2023. He was then 60 years old.
Alain Delon has never admitted that he is the father of Ari Boulogne, the son of the German singer Niko of the "Velvet Underground". The actor had a brief relationship with her in the 1960s. However, Ari was raised by Alain Delon's mother - Edith Boulon, whose name he bears.
The paths of the two men cross several times. In 1986, Alain Delon told Ari: "You don't have my eyes, you don't have my hair, you are not my son, you will never be my son,", recalled AFP, citing in. "Liberation".
Addicted to drugs, the photographer was placed in psychiatric clinics several times.
French film star Alain Delon is 88 years old and seriously ill after suffering a stroke in 2019.
