Ursula Andress, best known as the original Bond girl in the first James Bond film Dr. No, was allegedly swindled out of millions of dollars by her financial advisers.
However, authorities in Italy revealed on Thursday, March 26, “Assets fraudulently misappropriated from Ursula Andress have been identified.”
The law enforcement agency Guardia di Finanza added in their post shared to X that “goods, works of art, and financial holdings worth approximately 20 million euros have been seized.”
The Associated Press reported that Andress, now 90, claimed to Swiss newspaper Blick in January that she had been defrauded out of 18 million Swiss francs, approximately €20 million, over an eight-year period.
The financial adviser allegedly responsible for doing so has reportedly died since.
“I am still in shock,” she was quoted as saying. “I was deliberately chosen as a victim.”
“For eight years, I was courted and wooed,” she said. “They lied to me shamelessly and exploited my goodwill in a perfidious, indeed criminal, way in order to take everything from me. They took advantage of my age.”
It is unclear if any arrests have yet been made.
After years in Hollywood, Andress stepped away from the spotlight in the early 2000s. She has maintained a low profile since then, and she reportedly splits time between an apartment in Rome and a house in Gstaad.
