Sir Paul McCartney is facing fraud charges in Germany after a German woman, who says she is his love child, claimed the former Beatle faked a paternity test.
The case is the latest twist in a paternity battle over Bettina Krischbin, who is now 46, that has rumbled on for decades.
Miss Krischbin, who has two children of her own, lives in Berlin but says she was conceived in Hamburg in the early 1960s, before the Beatles rose to world fame.
She claims that Sir Paul sent a double to carry out a paternity test 20 years ago, which appeared to prove that he was not her father.
"The signature on the documents he signed at the time was false," she said. "We found the signature is from a right-handed person and he is not.
"I want a new paternity test," she added. "It is my right."
Now German authorities have opened a case to investigate the claim. A spokesman for the public prosecutors office confirmed: "There is a complaint of fraud against him [McCartney] that we are investigating."
