A years-long family feud between two Sydney brothers has escalated to an unprecedented level, with one sibling seeking a court order to exhume their parents' bodies as part of an inheritance war. The conflict, described by a judge as involving brothers who "hate each other," has also seen allegations of forged wills surface.
Justice Slattery, presiding over the case, characterized the legal proceedings as "chaotic" and "acutely difficult to case manage," necessitating the presence of sheriff's officers to maintain order during hearings. The dispute centers on a modest apartment in Lakemba, valued at approximately $555,000.
One of the brothers, Antonio Di Liristi, has been labeled "obnoxious" and "breathtakingly self-destructive" by judges in relation to numerous cases he has initiated over decades. The extreme nature of the current dispute highlights the depth of animosity and the lengths to which the siblings have allegedly gone in their fight over family assets. The bid to exhume their parents' remains marks a particularly grim and unusual turn in the already acrimonious legal battle.
