“They spent their time playing with fire.

At some point, it's very simple, when you play with fire, you get burned, ”said the public prosecutor of Evreux Dominique Puechmaille on Friday about the Balkany.

The day before, justice confirmed the revocation of the placement of Patrick Balkany and Isabelle Balkany under electronic bracelet.

Assigned so far to residence in their property in Giverny in the Eure, the couple could therefore be sent to prison.

According to the judgment concerning Patrick Balkany, "his attitude and his vehement remarks (...) often outrageous, even outrageous both with regard to the staff of the prison administration and the judge responsible for the application of sentences, illustrated his inability to to comply with the restrictions (…) imposed within the framework of the three-year prison sentence adjustments, the severity of which he continued to contest, even the merits”.

The bracelet beeper kept ringing

The public prosecutor of Evreux also denounced a “total lack of effort to clear their tax debt, subject of the conviction” for tax evasion.

"Before the dismissal, there were many reframings for each of them which remained a dead letter", underlined the magistrate.

"In addition to some unjustified alarms, Patrick Balkany has never respected his main particular obligation, namely that of paying the sums due to public finances, and this, despite his very large tax debt", according to the judgment.

The couple has “quite comfortable incomes”, specified the judicial source.

The reasons for the judgment concerning Isabelle Balkany are similar, according to the judicial source.

“There are appointments (with justice editor’s note) to which they did not go.

There are dates they were particularly unpleasant.

There were deadlines that were set by the judge to make efforts and all that remained a dead letter, ”also specified the judicial source.

As for the perimeter to be respected, "the beep did not stop ringing because each time, they were at the limit of the perimeter", according to the judicial source.

Direction the penitentiary establishment for the Balkany

Friday, Patrick Balkany assured that his wife was still hospitalized in Evreux, after, according to him, a suicide attempt on Thursday.

“She is in the coaltar,” he assured.

He said he was at home in Giverny.

Isabelle Balkany is “still hospitalized.

She is very weak, ”also has Sylvie Ramond, a friend of the former first assistant of Levallois-Perret.

The Evreux prosecutor's office had not yet been seized by the general prosecutor's office on Friday morning and it was unlikely that the spouses would be imprisoned during the day.

The decision of the Rouen Court of Appeal "will be notified to the interested parties by registered letter", the public prosecutor's office had indicated in a press release on Thursday.

The spouses “will be summoned by the Evreux prosecution”, which will “organize the continuation of their conviction in a penal establishment”, he added.
