全球最富有的银行家之一约瑟夫·萨夫拉的继承人已达成协议,结束了多年来针对他的遗产的跨国争端。
约瑟夫·萨夫拉家族7月19日在一份声明中宣布,与约瑟夫·萨夫拉的一个儿子“阿尔贝托·约瑟夫·萨夫拉在全球范围内友好解决了所有争议”。
阿尔贝托·萨夫拉声称,他的父亲患有帕金森氏症,他的心智不足以执行剥夺他继承权的三份新遗嘱;阿尔贝托后来起诉了他的母亲和两个兄弟,声称自己是操纵行为的受害者,希望重新获得他在纽约萨夫拉国家银行(Safra National Bank)应得的合理份额。
约瑟夫·萨夫拉于2020年去世,享年82岁。他出生于黎巴嫩,但是一名巴西公民,他建立了一个强大的企业集团,使他在去世时成为世界上最富有的银行家。本应是一场井然有序、有条不紊的继承,最终却被诉诸纽约法院,暴露出家族内部的分裂。
阿尔贝托·萨夫拉在声明中表示:“我很高兴终于解决了此事。经过澄清之后,我了解到不存在任何违规行为,约瑟夫·萨夫拉先生的资产已按照他的意愿进行了妥善分配。”
根据协议条款,阿尔贝托·萨夫拉将剥离其在萨夫拉集团(J. Safra Group)的权益,并通过自己的公司ASA Investments谋求商业利益。协议的财务条款和其他条件未对外披露。据彭博社2022年报道,阿尔贝托·萨夫拉正寻求将其股份出售给他的兄弟姐妹,这笔交易的价值最终可能高达50亿美元。(财富中文网)

The heirs of one of the world’s richest bankers, Joseph Safra, have reached an agreement that ends a years-long, international dispute over his estate.
The family announced the “global, amicable resolution of all disputes with Alberto Joseph Safra,” one of Joseph Safra’s sons, in a statement on Friday.
Alberto Safra claimed his father, who suffered from Parkinson’s disease, lacked the mental capacity to execute the three new wills that disinherited him; Alberto later sued his mother and two brothers, claiming to be a victim of manipulation, in a bid to regain what he claimed was his fair share of New York’s Safra National Bank.
Joseph Safra died in 2020 at the age of 82. Born in Lebanon but a citizen of Brazil, he built a robust conglomerate that made him the world’s richest banker at the time of his death. What was supposed to be an orderly, well-choreographed succession then ended up in a New York court, laying bare the divisions within the family.
“I am happy to put this matter behind us. After clarification, I understood that there were no irregularities, and that Mr. Joseph Safra’s assets were properly distributed according to his wishes,” Alberto Safra said in the statement.
Under the terms of the agreement, Alberto Safra will divest from his interests in the J. Safra Group and pursue his business interests through his own firm, ASA Investments. Financial terms and other conditions of the agreement were not disclosed. Bloomberg News reported in 2022 that Alberto Safra was looking to sell his stake to his siblings, a deal that could eventually deliver as much as $5 billion.
