fake imagesFrench police confiscated 72 firearms and more than 3,000 rounds of ammunition from the home of film legend Alain Delon.
A shooting range was also found at the actor’s home in Douchy-Montcorbon, about 135 kilometers (84 miles) south of Paris.
Prosecutors said Delon did not have a permit that would allow him to possess a gun.
The actor, 88, was a star of the golden age of French cinema, known for his tough-guy persona on screen in hits such as The Samurai and Borsalino.
Tuesday’s search was ordered after a court-appointed official sent to Delon’s home noticed a gun and alerted a judge.
The star has been in poor health in recent years after suffering a stroke in 2019 and suffering from another serious condition, not identified in the French media.
The breakup of his family has also made headlines in France.
Their three children have exposed their mutual grievances to the media in a series of insults, accusations, lawsuits and secret recordings.
The latest legal exchanges revolved around Mr. Delon’s medical treatment and last month a court-approved doctor examined him, but his conclusions were immediately questioned by the children.
Concerns about him first arose last year when his children filed a complaint against his former live-in assistant Hiromi Rollin.
They allege that the Japanese film production assistant engaged in “moral harassment” of his father. His attorney denied all allegations at the time.
Delon’s last major public appearance was to receive an honorary Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 2019.
In September 2019, he attended the funeral of his friend and fellow star Jean-Paul Belmondo in Paris.
