The investigation into the inheritance of Marella Caracciolo, widow of lawyer Gianni Agnelli, is widening. After John Elkann, the Turin Public Prosecutor's Office has also entered his brother Lapo and sister Ginevra in the register of suspects. Among the contested offences, it is reported, is also state inheritance tax fraud. Deputy Prosecutor Marco Gianoglio and prosecutors Mario Bendoni and Giulia Marchetti had already investigated the family's accountant Gianluca Ferrero and the Swiss notary Urs von Grunigen, executor of the will of Marella Caracciolo, Gianni Agnelli's wife. There were reportedly no searches.
It is reported that the Turin magistrates in charge of the investigation into the Agnelli inheritance have seized material, seized by investigators during the investigation, which should have been returned following last week's decision by the Court of Review, to which the lawyers of John Elkann and Gianluca Ferrero had appealed. Lapo and Ginevra Elkann would be investigated in the context of Marella Caracciolo's tax returns for the years 2018 and 2019, although the allegations would also concern the period relating to the years 2016 and 2017.
