Italy Court Halts Inheritance Case That Pits Ferrari Chair Elkann Against His Mother

A Turin court on Tuesday accepted a request from the Elkann family to suspend an inheritance case that’s pitted Stellantis NV and Ferrari NV Chairman John Elkann against his mother Margherita Agnelli and threatened to call into question the billionaire clan’s control of its business empire.

Margherita Agnelli, 67, has challenged agreements on the inheritance from her father Gianni Agnelli, Italy’s most prominent postwar industrialist and at one time the country’s richest person, and her mother Marella Agnelli. Her claims are based on doubts about her mother’s legal residence at the time of her death. Margherita Agnelli is Gianni Agnelli’s last surviving child.
