Overview
- Margherita Agnelli’s lawyers produced a photocopy of a 1998 holographic will attributed to Gianni Agnelli during a Turin civil hearing, citing materials seized by the Guardia di Finanza.
- The note reportedly assigns about 25% of the family vehicle Dicembre to his son Edoardo, a clause Margherita’s team says would have superseded earlier dispositions.
- Lawyers for John, Lapo and Ginevra Elkann argue the document has no effect because Edoardo died in 2000, succession was settled in a 2004 agreement, and any further claims are time‑barred.
- The court is expected to order technical and legal checks, as a holographic testament typically requires the original handwritten paper, with issues of authenticity, possible revocation and applicable cross‑border succession law to be reviewed.
- The paper surfaced in a fiscal investigation that prosecutors closed by seeking dismissal for Ginevra and Lapo and a probation program for John, while the civil case continues with further procedural steps.
