The couple of Hollywood stars got married in a small parish of Miraval Castle in the Var department in the south of France, with a private ceremony attended by friends and family, the magazine added when confirming information from the Associated Press (AP) agency.

In October, Jolie sold her stake at the vineyard in the south of France where the couple married, to Tenute of the Worlda subsidiary of Russian billionaire Yuri Shefler’s Stoli Group beverage conglomerate.

Pitt sued in February saying that the couple had reached an agreement not to sell their share without each other’s consent.

In an annex to the lawsuit, to which AFP had access, Pitt’s lawyers argue that “Jolie was looking to inflict harm on Pitt,” with the sale, describing Shefler as “an outsider with poisonous associations and intentions”.

The document a Los Angeles court received on Friday alleges that Shefler “has personal and professional relationships with people in Vladimir Putin’s inner circle.”

“Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, Chateau Miraval’s insurer has sought assurances that Shefler is not aligned with Putin and that his affiliation with [el grupo] Stoli will not generate commercial risk,” he says.

Shefler, whose Stoli Group is based in Latvia, has been critical of Putin.

“[Soy] Russian exile since 2002 due to my opposition to Putin,” the millionaire said in a statement in March 2022. The businessman also renamed his brand “in solidarity with Ukraine.”

“Despite Shefler’s desperate attempt to separate his image from the Putin regime, the Stoli brand is currently an enormous international liability,” Pitt’s latest court arguments state.

“Stoli vodka is synonymous with Russia,” he adds.

The complaint also lists Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as part of Shefler’s alleged “disreputable network of professional associates,” which “threatens lasting damage to Miraval’s reputation.”

The Stoli Group did not immediately reply to AFP.

A source following the case told AFP that Jolie had decided to sell her part of the property because neither she nor her children “had been able to return” to the Chateau Miraval.and that the actress made several offers to her ex-husband before closing the deal with Shefler.

According to the source, Pitt’s lawsuit “is part of a false narrative” and “the truth has yet to come out.”
