Selena Quintanilla’s Brother Alludes to Legal Action Against Sister Suzette: ‘Many Things Will Be Made Clear’

A.B.

Quintanilla III , brother of the late Mexican star Selena, said on Instagram Tuesday (Sept.

1) that he’s involved in a legal matter concerning his sister, Suzette Quintanilla Arriaga, and circumstances related to their late father, Abraham Quintanilla Jr., who died in December.
