Ursula Andress Files Swiss Fraud Complaint Over CHF 18 Million Loss

Swiss prosecutors have searched professional offices in Vaud in a bid to trace assets allegedly diverted by the late manager.

Overview

  • The 89-year-old actor has lodged a criminal complaint in Switzerland alleging roughly 18 million Swiss francs were siphoned from her assets.
  • She accuses former Geneva wealth manager Eric Freymond of opaque operations and unauthorized investments, including art purchases registered to his wife.
  • Freymond reportedly acknowledged some contested facts in July 2025 and died by suicide weeks later, complicating efforts to assign responsibility and recover funds.
  • Swiss media report that authorities searched a lawyer's and a notary's offices in Canton Vaud as they track asset flows and potential collaborators, with the lawyer denying wrongdoing and the notary invoking professional secrecy.
  • Investigators are reviewing parallels to a separate complaint by Hermès heir Nicolas Puech and are attempting to locate and value artworks and other alleged diverted holdings.
