Ursula Andress Files Criminal Complaint as Vaud Probes Alleged 18 Million Franc Loss

Vaud investigators are pursuing leads through searched legal offices to trace roughly 18 million francs Andress says vanished.

Overview

  • The late wealth manager Eric Freymond is accused of steering Andress’s money into art bought in her name and risky stocks without her consent.
  • Reports say the artworks were listed as belonging to Freymond’s wife and were never shown or delivered to Andress, leaving their location and value unclear.
  • Media cite transfers from Andress’s Lombard Odier account to a Vaud notarial account that then financed the disputed art purchases.
  • Andress’s representatives describe a fraud system of extraordinary scale and say authorities are working to establish criminal and civil responsibility.
  • Investigators have reportedly searched the offices of a lawyer and a notary linked to Freymond; the lawyer denies wrongdoing, and the notary invokes confidentiality, as Freymond’s 2025 admission and subsequent suicide complicate prosecution.
