International legal thriller about the disputed inheritance of the Monegasque banker of Italian origins Adalberto Miani.
The complex civil and criminal dispute is ongoing in Olbia, Switzerland and Monte Carlo . Miani died at the end of 2024 and named his wife, a merchant and entrepreneur from Siniscola who operates between San Teodoro and Budoni, as his sole heir.
The woman (born in 1972) had married Miani on December 7, 2022 in Olbia, with a civil wedding. She was left with a considerable estate, with properties in Monte Carlo, Milan, Olbia and Porto Cervo. The children of the banker (who was 86 years old at the time of the marriage) have unleashed a legal offensive, they consider their father's wedding and the will (deposited at a notary's office in Monaco) the result of the elderly financier's deception and manipulation.
In a complaint filed with the Tempio Prosecutor's Office, the lawyers for the banker's children (lawyers Marco Petitta, Gildo Ursini and Marzia Ghigliazza) speak of an operation that lasted months to isolate the alleged victim and influence her decisions on the management of her assets. They speak of a fragile person "whose capacity for self-determination was already weakened by advanced age and illness". At least this is the theory of the man's closest relatives.
The children also reported that the marriage with the Sardinian entrepreneur took place four months after the death of the banker's first wife and that the elderly man's cancer treatments were inexplicably suspended .
The Tempio Tribunal has ordered (a measure adopted on the civil level) the freezing of Miani's Sardinian assets, pending the resolution of the dispute . The Sardinian merchant and entrepreneur called into question has seen her reasons accepted in Monte Carlo, at least in the very first phase of the affair. The Monegasque judiciary has in fact excluded that the elderly financier was deceived.
