The former mayor of Levallois-Perret (Hauts-de-Seine) Patrick Balkany returned to prison in Fleury-Mérogis (Essonne) this Monday, February 7 at the start of the afternoon. Justice had revoked his placement under an electronic bracelet last week. His wife Isabelle Balkany, still hospitalized, has not been summoned for the moment.

Justice revoked this Monday, February 7 the placement under electronic bracelet of Patrick Balkany. He was imprisoned at the beginning of the afternoon at the Fleury-Mérogis prison (Essone). The former mayor of Levallois-Perret (Hauts-de-Seine) sentenced to four years in prison, including three firm, for tax evasion then aggravated money laundering, must still serve more than half of his sentence there.

Like his wife Isabelle, also convicted, Patrick Balkany had been placed under an electronic bracelet in their mansion in Giverny (Eure) since March 21, 2021. This development concerned their sentence of tax evasion. Justice has decided to send Patrick Balkany back to prison after the multiple breaches noted. She blames him for numerous incidents related to the electronic bracelet, but also his non-presented supporting documents and the non-payment of his tax debt. Isabelle Balkany is still hospitalized since Thursday after a suicide attempt, according to her husband, and cannot be summoned according to her doctors.
