Page "Athina Onassis Roussel" Paragraph 13

Christina Onassis never trusted Thierry Roussel completely, which led the family to arrange for a Board of Administrators to have control over the family money until Athina came of age.

The trustees selected by Christina to manage Athina's estate in the event of Christina's death were as follows: Stelio Papadimitriou, Paul Ioannidis, Apostolos Zabelas, Theodore Gabrielides and Thierry Roussel.

The " four Greeks " ( the four other than Thierry Roussel ) have frequently been dubbed in the media as the " greybeards.

" During Athina's childhood and adolescence, all expenditures made on her behalf by her father ( using money from the Onassis inheritance ) had to be approved by the Board in advance ( which led her father to threaten constantly to move back to Paris, France with the family, where income taxes would cost the estate a " small fortune a year ", as Roussel put it ).

In 1999, a Vaduz court ordered the transfer of management of her inheritance from the five trustees selected by her mother to the KPMG Fides auditing firm in Lucerne.
