Courtney LoveCountney Love has reportedly launched an investigation to find millions of dollars she believes have been stolen from her late husband Kurt Cobain’s estate.

Courtney’s lawyer Rhonda J Holmes told the New York Post’s Page Six: “When Mr Cobain died in 1994, he left his enormously wealthy estate behind for the benefit of his mother, two sisters, a brother, his wife and young daughter [with Courtney, Frances Bean].

“Many of those [involved with] the estate’s coffers mismanaged, stole and outright looted it shamelessly. I have never seen such greed and moral turpitude.

“Courtney noticed the money was gone when there wasn’t any left. It’s no secret she struggled with substance-abuse issues, but in the last year she’s taken a more serious approach to sobriety and started noticing things were wrong. She hired private investigators, accountants and me.

“We are also working with local and federal authorities. We will be filing civil cases … within the next 30 days.

“There are many, many millions missing. We’ve only been able to track down $30 million, but there is more. And then there is the real estate.

“There is now a web of homes which were bought, flipped and used to launder money - up to $500 million worth. Any of the property we can get back will be donated to people who have lost their homes in foreclosures.”
