Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie set to face-off in French winery trial

Fresh off the heels of their eight-year divorce battle, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are gearing up for a courtroom face-off over their winery in the south of France.

Pitt, 61, anticipates the trial concerning Château Miraval will span 15 days, though its start date has not yet been set, according to court documents filed last Friday and obtained by Us Weekly.

The “F1” star and 50-year-old Jolie — once together known as “Brangelina” — purchased the $164 million Provence winery in 2008, six years before getting married on the property and eight years before separating in 2016.

Jolie hoped in the summer of 2021 to sell her stake in the winery, but Pitt sued her the following year for “vindictively” selling her shares to a Russian oligarch, in violation of their agreement that required Pitt’s approval.

In the wake of Jolie claiming that her ex was “looting” Château Miraval in an effort to devalue the property, the pair agreed in July 2023 to settle out of court. But things took a turn in 2024.

Roughly six weeks before the A-listers finalized their divorce in late December, a Los Angeles judge ruled in favor of Pitt’s bid to bring the winery case to trial. Us Weekly reported at the time that the trial might not even start until 2026.

Though the bitter divorce dragged on for years, Pitt and Jolie were declared legally single in 2019. Two years later, Pitt won joint custody of their five minor kids, though the tentative ruling did not apply to their son Maddox, who was 19 at the time. The custody agreement was ultimately tossed and now, only two of their children, 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, remain minors.

Daughter Shiloh Nouvel Jolie, 19, successfully filed to remove the Pitt portion of her surname in May 2024, following in the footsteps of siblings Maddox, now 23, and Zahara, 20.

During his appearance on “Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard” this week, Pitt opened up about entering Alcoholics Anonymous in the wake of Jolie filing for divorce.

Mobbed-up Long Island cop staged fake raid at rival ‘Sal the Shoemaker’ gambling parlor: feds

A mobbed-up Nassau cop working behind-the-scenes for the Bonanno crime family staged a fake raid to shut down a gambling parlor run by rival Genovese gangster Salvatore “Sal the Shoemaker” Rubino, federal prosecutors charge in new court filings. Now-fired Nassau County Police Department Detective Hector Rosario allegedly had a side gig working for the Bonanno crime family — and the Bonannos considered Rubino’s gambling den in his Merrick, L.I. shop, Sal’s Shoe Repair, the competition, the feds say. So in 2013 or 2014, two Bonanno members paid Rosario to shut the place down and Rosario got to work, according to a January filing by federal prosecutors. The two Bonannos who gave the order are expected to sing at Rosario’s trial in Brooklyn Federal Court next month. Neither are named in the court filings. One of the informants, a Bonanno associate, is expected to testify he was in the room when Rosario and his “associates” barged into Rubino’s shoe repair shop, broke one of the gamb...

Unclaimed Funds Archive

What are unclaimed property and unclaimed funds? Perhaps you forgot to cash a check, overpaid a bill, or didn’t know you were the beneficiary of a long-lost relative’s life insurance policy. There are many reasons why you may be owed money and not be aware of it. That is why banks, insurance companies, courts, corporations, and other organizations are required by law to attempt to notify you by mail and publish information regarding unclaimed property in the newspaper. What happens to unclaimed property? Organizations have between one and five years to try to reunite account holders with their property, depending on the state and industry. After that “dormancy period,” the funds are turned over to the state. The NY State Comptroller will hold on to unclaimed funds indefinitely, just waiting for you to file a claim. How to find lost money: Search for your name—and your family members’ names—in the unclaimed property and funds lists published in the New York Daily News, linked below...
