The Balkany spouses sent back to prison by the courts

It was in the shelter of their property in Giverny (Eure) that they learned of their return to prison on Thursday February 3. Patrick and Isabelle Balkany were sentenced in 2020 to three years in prison for massive tax evasion. Due to their state of health, the couple had been placed under house arrest with an electronic bracelet. The sentence adjustment was revoked by the courts: the couple did not respect the conditions, the bracelet rang a hundred times in less than a year. Patrick Balkany defended himself on RTL: “This is all bullshit“.

His wife attempted suicide, according to her husband. She was treated at the hospital in Evreux (Eure). In Levallois-Perret (Hauts-de-Seine), the announcement of the return behind bars of the former mayor divides the inhabitants. The couple now has five days to appeal. A decision that would not prevent their incarceration.
