She said he planned to sue her estate after her death. Lollobrigida accused Rigau of fraud, arguing that he had earlier obtained the legal right to act for her behalf as a power of attorney and carried out the plot to get more power. "He begged me to give him my attorney's license a few months ago." He wanted it for some legal issues. However, I'm afraid that he took advantage of the fact that I don't speak Spanish.... Who knows what he had me sign." She lost her court case in March 2017, but has announced that she would appeal.
