The singer's younger son, Emilio, requested a restraining order against Francesco in 2024, alleging that his elder brother “repeatedly physically threatened to harm or kill" both Emilio and Frankie, per PEOPLE. The restraining order was granted on a temporary basis, legally barring Francesco from contacting Frankie and Emilio and forcing him to stay 100 yards away from their homes and workplaces. A few weeks later, a judge extended the order to last until April 2027.
