Beautician claims she’s heir to Lamborghini after collecting ‘irrefutable’ DNA from ‘sister’s’ drinking straw
An Italian woman has claimed to be a Lamborghini heiress after testing her alleged sister’s DNA from a drinking straw, a lawsuit revealed.
Flavia Borzone, 35, claims she has “irrefutable” DNA evidence that she is the secret daughter of Tonino Lamborghini, 76, after she tested his daughter Elettra’s saliva, she claimed in a lawsuit.
The Naples native said she hired a private investigator to retrieve a drinking straw used by Elettra, who is a socialite and singer, to prove they were siblings and Borzone was the illegitimate heir to the luxury car’s family,
The DNA sample was tested at the University of Ferrara, where experts said the genetic sample prove𝔍d Borzone and Elettra were in fact related, a 🐼court case brought Monday revealed.
The illegitimate heir claims L🦹amborghini and her mother, Rosalba Colossimo, had met at a bus stop in 1980 while the sports car heir was driving by and offered her a ﷽lift. The two then allegedly struck up a relationship, which ended with Borzone being born in 1988.
Lamborghini denies that Borzone is his daughter and su❀ed her and her mother for defamation after she went public with her findings, the Telegraph said.
However, Borzone claims she secretly recorded a conversation with her suspected father, who has five legitimate children, in 2019 when she had driven to Funo – near Bologna – to meet him.
The beautician’s lawyer claimed Lamborghini had “admitted to having a relationship with Colossimo” and that Borzone’s real name – Clelia – was a tribute to his mother.
Despite his could-be daughter’s evidence, Lamborghini’s lawyer is calling her claim “unlawful” because Elettra did not consent to giving her DNA. Due to this, he is arguing the DNA should not be admitted as evidence, the Telegraph said.
Borzone’s lawyer simply argues the DNA proves “she is not lying” and that the “women are sisters.”
“For us, it was important to show that Flavia Borzone did not want to offend Mr. Lamborghini, she just wants to be recognized [as his daughter)]. She has lived for years without knowing who her father is,” her lawyer, Sergio Culiersi, said, according to the Telegraph.
They also claimed Lamborghini has refused to submit his own DNA for testing, which is why they used a private investigator to obtain Elettra’s, the British outlet reported.
“Our client and Elettra Lamborghini are sisters. They are daughters of the same father. This should be enough to throw out the accusation of defamation because [Borzone and her mother] have just told the truth,” her legal team said.
Borzone’s mother also insisted her daughter does not want Lamborghini’s fortune, she just wants to know who her father truly is.
“If it had been all about the money, I would have done all this when Flavia was two years old,” Colossimo told the court.
The trial will proceed again in March.
