THE FBI HAS opened an investigation of Brad Pitt, amid news reports that the Hollywood actor’s abusive behavior toward his children was what led wife Angelina Jolie to file this week for divorce.
Celebrity website TMZ reported that police have launched an investigation of Pitt, who reportedly began yelling and “getting physical” with his children on a private jet several days ago.
An FBI statement late yesterday confirmed that an investigation “regarding allegations within the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States – specifically, an aircraft carrying Mr Brad Pitt and his children” has been opened.
However, the press release offered no additional details about the probe, other than to say that “the FBI is continuing to gather facts and will evaluate whether an investigation at the federal level will be pursued”.
The Los Angeles Police Department, meanwhile, so far is not investigating Pitt.
“We have no report in our record for any filings for Brad Pitt, we are not having any investigations regarding Brad Pitt,” police spokesman Lorenzo Quezada told AFP.
Claims
Several media outlets reported this week that Pitt had been verbally and physically abusive toward at least one of his six children during an angry outburst that contributed to Jolie’s decision to end their marriage.
Jolie, 41, on Monday filed for divorce from Pitt, 52, citing irreconcilable differences and seeking custody of their six children.
The two actors are among America’s biggest film stars. Together they came to be known as ‘Brangelina’ – Hollywood’s most glamorous and celebrated couple in decades.
The A-listers wed in France in August two years ago, but have been a couple since 2004.
They have three biological and three adopted children together.

That would be ideal for Ireland if it had front and rear .50 calibre machine guns, hedgehog mortor pads, Bouncing Betty and Claymore mine perimetre outlay, smoke generators, surface to air missile systems, priority target HUD, ridged Kevlar body finishing and the makings of a cup of tea.
@Paul Culligan: Some jihadi somewhere is drooling over your description.
@Paul Culligan: You play Call of Duty too.
How is this even news? These mobile banks already exist especially in the west
They had this in mayo in the 1980s.
@Michael Ruane: Our IRA friends targeted them.
Another bank crash waiting to happen.
@Ala Alowska:
If you can find a lender….
Ulster bank fo the same on donegal Shame that they won’t let you pat a cheque at the counter in the branch anymore. Love the way banks treat customers as an annoyance
Hardly ground breaking news, didn’t they used to do the same here with mobile banks in the 80′s?
Same with travelling libraries (which they still do)!
Where did the Germans get that brilliant idea?

West Cork?
Piecemeal commitment to personal customers. At a major high street branch of a big bank in the UK recently and they had a grand total of 2 tellers servicing a long queue, while trying to herd people towards self service machines. Normal account holders are considered an inconvenience now.
@Shane McGettrick:
Must say the self service machines in banks are one of the best inventions ever!! No questions from a noisy teller
Kinihans and Hutch’s etc would cream themselves with this soft target
@Tom Harpur: there’s no cash on board so I doubt that they’d be bothered ..
Banksters here will be joining the Truckers Union next, did they ever find Hoffa?
What they don’t tell you is that you must pay for every transaction. Cash withdrawal, cheque lodgement, money transfer etc.
@Rear Admiral: So like a bank then?
@Rear Admiral: The rise of the cyrptocurrencies peer to peer transactions with no middle diddle men and women is the future, a cashless society is on the way it will take a while yet to sort out the glitches in the systems ,but the Banksters are not happy about the rise of the cyrpto’s
@Robert O’Rourke: Does your bank charge you to take out money? I would change if I were you.
@Rear Admiral: Transaction fees are quite normal.
This was normal in west cork in the 70s
I’d rather see a mobile brothel come to town with “Die – Sparkass” on the side of it. And “Anything You Need.” Would that circumnavigate the law on criminalising the punter? …in rural (and urban, of course,) Ireland mobile bonking means a bonk in a bunk in the back of a truck visiting different towns.
Believe it or not but the Mobile Bank of Ireland used to stop at our house every week on its way to the village in the seventies.That what I call service .
So instead of robbing a bank you can hijack the bank instead lol.
But knowing the roads here, it wouldn’t last too long…
We have them already in Towns across Cavan , are you brain dead
@Oliver: Are they not called boats lol.
GTA just got real, money on wheels.. Genius
have your say
