Summary

  • Margherita Agnelli, 70, moved to join the criminal tax case against her son John Elkann as a civil party, opening a new front in the family’s legal battle.
  • Damages are being sought for alleged moral and reputational harm linked to what her lawyers called a fraudulent scheme involving her parents’ succession and control of family holding company Dicembre.
  • John Elkann, chairman of Stellantis and heir to the Fiat family, now faces the claim within the criminal proceeding rather than only in the broader inheritance dispute.
  • The filing deepens a long-running conflict over the Agnelli family estate and ownership structure, extending the fallout beyond succession issues into criminal tax litigation.
