The heiress to the family of the luxury brand Gucci filed a lawsuit alleging that her stepfather had sexually abused her from childhood to the age of 20. The mother insisted that she helped him and hid it even though she knew it.

On the 10th (local time), the New York Times (NYT) filed a lawsuit in a California court alleging that Alexandra Zarini (35), the only granddaughter of the late Aldo Gucci (1905-1990), was sexually abused as a child by his stepfather Joseph Rupalo. She said she had submitted.

“Mother Patricia Gucci and her maternal grandmother Bruna Palombo aided or concealed the sexual abuse of the stepfather,” Zarini said. Zarini claimed that the stepfather’s sexual abuse began at age 6 and continued until she was 22. Her stepfather was the manager of the singers ‘Príncipe’ and ‘Tierra, viento y fuego’.

Girani claimed that her stepfather constantly went to her bed and touched her body. Patricia, her mother, assaulted her and her stepfather allowed her to film her in a bathroom. Even though her maternal grandmother Palombo was aware of her stepfather’s sexual abuse, she told Zarini “don’t tell anyone.”

In addition, Zarini said that when he announced the lawsuit plan, his mother and maternal grandmother said: “I will disqualify the Gucci family from the inheritance.” .

At the same time, Zarini said that the remaining amount, excluding attorneys’ fees, would be used to establish a basis for preventing child sexual abuse.

The maternal side told the NYT: “We deeply apologize for the pain Rufalo has caused your daughter.” The lawyer for stepfather Rupalo denied the sexual abuse to the NYT and said “(Rupalo) is not yet aware of the charges brought by the plaintiff.”

Meanwhile, the Gucci family went out of business in 1993 when Maurizio Gucci, an outlaw of Zarini, sold his stake to an investment firm.
