Valentino Rossi Files Complaint Alleging Father’s Partner Took €200,000

Rossi says his focus is his father's wellbeing, not money.

Overview

  • Prosecutor Irene Lilliu in Pesaro is reviewing the case while the Guardia di Finanza examines outgoing transactions from Graziano Rossi’s accounts.
  • Rossi alleges the woman withdrew €176,000 — including €100,000 marked as a loan — plus about €34,000 in cash over roughly 12 years, exploiting a perceived vulnerability.
  • In 2024 Rossi was appointed his father’s support administrator, but on March 4, 2025 a Pesaro judge revoked the role, finding Graziano fully capable; Rossi did not appeal.
  • At least five psychiatric evaluations, including one by court expert Luca Cimino, concluded Graziano Rossi is competent and does not require a guardian.
  • Rossi publicly described a family rift and said he no longer sees or hears from his father, emphasizing concern for his health over any financial motive.
