legal battle
The separation of Gallanio (of dual nationality, Polish and American) from Sheikh Al-Thani caused a notorious legal battle for the custody of his three minor daughters in 2012, in a case that has been dragging on without resolution. On May 19, the Paris court dismissed the demands of the woman, who had spent several months hospitalized in November and who, according to the French newspaper, was prone to nervous breakdowns and detoxification cures.

According to Le Parisien, one of the couple’s daughters denounced in mid-April having been the victim of sexual assault by her father when she was between 9 and 15 years old, accusations that the Qatari sheikh’s entourage denies, but that have led to the Paris Public Prosecutor’s Office to open an investigation for aggravated sexual assault, in charge of the police brigade for the protection of minors.
