  • Arash Pournouri sued Avicii's family companies over being blamed for the DJ's suicide.
  • The lawsuit was dismissed for not meeting legal requirements, according to the companies' lawyer.
  • Pournouri has other plans, but details and next steps after the dismissal are unclear.

According to sources, Arash Pournouri filed a lawsuit last year against the companies linked to Tim 'Avicii' Bergling and controlled by his family. The reason for the lawsuit was that Pournouri was identified as responsible for Bergling's mental illness and suicide in 2018, as reported by Norwegian Dagens Næringsliv. The lawsuit has been dismissed because the application did not meet the requirements for such a lawsuit, according to lawyer Thomas Olsson, who represents the sued companies.

" The specific requirements the lawsuit failed to meet have not been disclosed. Arash Pournouri appears to have other plans, though what those plans are regarding this issue remains unknown. The response from Tim Bergling's family or their companies to the lawsuit has not been detailed.

One can only hope that this is a clear message to him to leave this issue behind him.
