Athina has established her own Equestrian Events - https://www.athinaonassis-horseshow.com/ and that she is friendly with Charlotte Casiraghi of Monaco: rumors that Monaco was saved financially by Ari Onassis persist.  Clearly the offspring of the men who were once in business together and who ended their business relationship aren't holding any grudges.

THE RED FILE by ALEXIS MANTHEAKIS - SHOCKING DETAILS?

These days I have to wonder what it takes to shock but various reviews of the book I read seem to agree this book contains some details that those who consider themselves unshockable might find interesting - details which were part of the testimony against "Doda,"  Athina's husband, at court cases during her divorce.  Behind his wife's back he apparently lodged his mistress Nicky T. on different floors of the same hotels - an old trick - for instance.
