Actress Danièle Gaubert was in Rome filming Camille 2,000, a futuristic version of Dumas fils' classic, and gossip columnists made the most of every rumor about her life and hard times with ex-husband, Rhadamés Trujillo. The trigger-tempered playboy son of the late Dominican dictator had held her a virtual prisoner of love at his European estates for almost five years-or so the stories went. Then the romantic legend began to falter, as Danièle missed her cue and told reporters: "It's true that my husband wanted...
Family Affair. Rhadamés was picked up on an extradition warrant at the request of a Swiss court. The complainant is not the Dominican government, which has its own extradition proceedings under way. The accusers are members of the Trujillo clan itself-precisely which ones, the lawyers were not saying. But the talk around the Dominican Republic suggested a daughter of the dictator's first marriage, Flor de Oro, and Trujillo's second wife, Bienvenida Ricardo, both believed to be in Montreal; two children, Rafael and Yolanda, born to longtime mistress, Lina Lovatón, all three...

Rhadamés, who looks after the investments in France, cuts the caper in splendor on a $5,000,000 estate near Evreux, with his wife and 15 servants; his three stallions and 20 champion brood mares are already the talk of French racing. In Madrid, Ramfis, his mother and a few other family members occupy three $50,000 apartments in a fashionable section...
...only Rhadamés has been picked up by the police. But the lawyers are expected to petition Spanish courts for extradition warrants on which to arrest the others. And if extradition is granted, the four family members will be hauled back to Geneva for what should be one of the most fascinating trials in vears...
