Court rules will of Nikos Sergianopoulos's half-brother a forgery

Authorities have officially determined that the will belonging to the half-brother of the late Greek actor Nikos Sergianopoulos is a forgery. The legal challenge against the document's authenticity began in 2024, leading to a court ruling that the signature was not genuine. The forged document had falsely designated the non-governmental organization Chain of Hope as the primary beneficiary of the estate. Following this judicial decision, the remaining assets of the inheritance have been frozen by the state. However, reports indicate that several property assets have already been sold prior to the legal determination of fraud. The case has gained significant public attention due to its connection to the famous actor's family. Investigative procedures are expected to continue regarding the origins of the falsified document. The current status of the sold assets remains a complex legal issue for the rightful heirs.
