The conflict between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie for the sale of a vineyard
According to documents obtained by Us Weekly, the protagonist of the film F1 It seeks to give evidence related to the sale of the actress’s participation in the vineyard to Stoli Group, a company of the Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler, completed in 2021.
Pitt argues that this transaction was made without its consent, which, according to its original demand, was necessary.
In his June 30 motion, the actor said he has had difficulty forcing Alexey Oliynik, an executive of Stoli, to declare or deliver documents linked to the sale.
Oliynik, according to Brad, has direct knowledge of the negotiations between Jolie and Stoli, but has refused to collaborate, claiming to be a Swiss resident and therefore out of the jurisdiction of the California court.
An informant close to the case told Us Weekly that “this is another example of the constant refusal of the defense side to deliver documents that would contribute clarity to the case.”
As if that were not enough, Brad Pitt is also trying to obtain private messages from Angelina Jolie who, in her opinion, would demonstrate the deliberate intention of harming him by selling his participation in the vineyard as a retaliation for the dispute over the custody of his children.
“The information we are looking for goes directly to the center of our allegations”affirms the legal team of the actor.
The case has no trial date, but the process is expected to last 15 days. Meanwhile, the accusations continue to intensify.
It should be noted that the 50 -year -old actress has argued that the sale to Stoli was legitimate, and ensures that she had no obligation to consult her ex -husband to specify it.
However, he also claimed that he withdrew from a previous negotiation with Pitt when he tried to include a non -discredit clause (NDA) that, according to her, He sought to silence her about “years of abuse” during his relationship. The artist has strongly denied these accusations.
In addition, the legal conflict has grown with the participation of Nouvel, the company through which Angelina maintained her participation in the vineyard.
Nouvel filed a contrademanda against Brad, accusing him of embezzling Château Miraval funds to finance “vanity projects” and handle the company as his “personal stay.”
In the words of the Nouvel defense, “Pitt and his company Mondo Bongo have diverted Miraval funds through a series of transactions that have harmed Stoli, preventing him from receiving benefits and payments of loans to which he is entitled.”
However, Brad Pitt He denies having committed irregularities and has requested that the contrademanda be dismissed.
The actor maintains that Angelina Jolie He orchestrated a undercover sale and that his intention was always to exercise exclusive control over the vineyard, which both became a family business during their marriage.
