To the late Swedish DJ Avicii ie by Tim Bergling ex-manager Arash “Ash” Pournouri has filed a lawsuit against the companies owned by the Bergling family.
The Swedish media, among other things, report on the matter Aftonbladet.
Pournouri also talks about it in a long Instagram post, which he published on Tuesday.
Pournouri was Bergling’s manager from 2008 to 2016. Pournouri was therefore part of Bergling’s team at the time of the top DJ’s breakthrough.
Various claims have been made about Pournour, for example in the one published in 2017 Avicii: True Stories in the document. In the documentary, Bergling, who stopped gigging in 2016, said, among other things, that Pournouri would have pressured him to continue gigging despite the fact that he suffered from various health concerns and would not have been able to gig.
In his Instagram post, Pournouri states that he is not seeking financial gain with the lawsuit, but justice. He wants to correct, in his own words, an inaccurate and incomplete public narrative.

Pournouri says that he does not intend to publish private health information, and his intention is not to blame fans or speculate.
In the same breath, Pournouri states that he has material that he may release if the need arises.
– There are hours of unedited recordings. I keep them – not as a means of pressure, but because I know how public destruction feels, Pournouri writes.
– I’m not going to do to others what was done to me. But if the denial continues, the material will be published. Uncut. With dates, he continues.
The first to report about it Dagens Naeringsliv unsuccessfully attempted to reach Bergling’s family for comment on the lawsuit.
Bergling died in April 2018.
