Kanye West’s wife, Bianca Censori is facing family controversy after her uncle, Tony Campana, sued her aunt. Formerly known as Eris Censori, Tony, dubbed "Melbourne’s Al Capone" and a convicted murderer, is seeking nearly $135,000 from his sister, whom he accuses of theft. Tony, who is Bianca's father Leo Censori's brother, initiated Supreme Court action against his sister, Elenia Censori, as reported by the Daily Telegraph on Thursday, August 22.
This development follows a property dispute in Brunswick, Australia, where Tony Campana previously won a case against his sister Elenia. A judge ruled that Elenia had been holding the Union St property in constructive trust for Tony since 2005. Despite her claims of rightful ownership, Elenia was ordered to transfer the property to Tony and pay him $182,097 for rent she collected after vacating the house and renting it out in February 2016, according to the Telegraph.
In a statement of claim filed this month and obtained by the Herald Sun, Tony claimed his sister took from the trust to pay her legal costs in last year’s June trial before the judgment was handed down.

Bianca’s notorious uncle reportedly stated that Elenia “engaged in equitable fraud” by taking the money when he was the sole beneficiary of the trust property. Moreover, Tony claimed that he suffered losses and damages.
The Yeezy architect’s aunt and uncle’s rivalry was reportedly aired in the Supreme Court last year, with both parties giving evidence against each other.
Ultimately, Justice Michael McDonald rejected Elenia’s evidence that she had purchased the home with her own money, saying it was “quite implausible” for her to have saved such an amount as a single mum and cleaner, the Telegraph reported.
During her evidence, Bianca’s aunt reportedly claimed she had lent tens of thousands of dollars to her brother over the years, including $40,000 cash she had stored behind a bookshelf in her home.
Elenia reportedly said she was “scared to bring it up” with her brother to repay the money because “Eris is not a person you can – you can say no to … he can be intimidating.”
Additionally, Bianca’s aunt denied ever signing a trust deed or declaring a trust over the property.
Moreover, a copy of the trust deed could not be shown to the court because Tony said it had been destroyed in a fire at his home in April 2014. A copy at the law firm where it was signed was also destroyed in a fire, the court heard.
According to the Telegraph, Bianca’s uncle, Tony Campana, successfully argued that he sought building permits for two neighboring properties but was told that new regulations limited permits to one every three years for owner-builders. To circumvent this, Tony reportedly transferred the title of one property to Bianca’s aunt.
In 1982, Tony was convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of Perth waiter Michael Sideris. His sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment when Western Australia abolished the death penalty. In 1987, he was transferred to Victoria to serve his sentence closer to family and was released on parole in May 1994, with the condition of lifetime supervision.
Formerly known as Eris Censori, Tony is now seeking nearly $135,000 from his sister, Elenia Censori. He told the court that after his release, he initially lived with Bianca’s father, Leo, before moving into Elenia’s house in Heidelberg, Australia. Elenia had argued in court that the Brunswick house was a gift from Tony in exchange for allowing him to stay with her.
Despite the ongoing family legal battle, Bianca’s recent fast food outing to KFC with Kanye West has momentarily overshadowed the controversy.
The couple was recently captured on CCTV ordering at a counter in Los Angeles, USA.
“But of course, Bianca wasn’t about to go unnoticed … keeping things spicy, flaunting serious cleavage in a barely-there bra,” TMZ reported on Thursday.
