Big relief for Isabelle Balkany. On August 5, the former politician happily learned that her husband Patrick Balkany was released from prison after spending several months behind bars.
Sentenced to 5 years in prison for laundering tax evasion, the 73-year-old former mayor of Levallois-Perret was imprisoned in Fleury-Mérogis prison (Essonne)… and was released much earlier than expected for health reasons. . “It’s very difficult. I was isolated, alone. I haven’t seen an inmate for six months. It’s screaming in all directions, it’s very tiring. We can’t sleep because at two o’clock in the morning it screams, it hits … I can tell you that for a man of my age, it’s difficult. he had explained.
Happy to find her husband, Isabelle Balkany proudly posted a photo of him on Twitter with the caption: “Reconversion in the weather… I had planned the storm of hugs in Normandy”, this Monday August 8, 2022. Pointed out by many people since their appearance in court, the Balkany spouses have to face criticism on a daily basis and an Internet user has precisely taken advantage of this opportunity to launch a spade. “Where is grain of rice?” asked the Internet user, referring to the controversy born after the couple nicknamed one of their Vietnamese employees, “grain of rice”.
Having a hard time keeping calm, Isabelle Balkany replied with rage: “Happy that you asked about him, poor m… that you are. Very disabled, he is slowly dying from generalized bone cancer. . We are at his side, as we always have been. And you, you type on a keyboard”.
