Berlin - Berlin public prosecutors said Thursday they are not taking any action on a woman's claim that she was Paul McCartney's daughter or that the former Beatle allegedly avoided a paternity test by a trick.
Officials said the alleged fraud was so long ago that the law would not allow prosecution, even if the claim were true. The Berlin woman, 46, alleged McCartney, 64, appointed a double to take a paternity test in 1984.
The mass-circulation German newspaper Bild said the claimant's mother claimed to have had a romance with McCartney between 1959 and 1962. The early Beatles were a house act at a club in the German city of Hamburg.
Prosecutors said they reviewed the official 1984 files and concluded that 'the alleged offence, even if it had occurred, would today be out of time for prosecution.'
