A blow for Amel Bent. Her partner, Patrick Antonelli, finds himself in the spotlight as she tastes for the third time to the joys of motherhood. This Tuesday, May 3, The Parisian revealed that his companion, Patrick Antonelli, was imprisoned in the Nanterre remand center to serve a sentence of fifteen months in prison.

The court decision dates back to March 8. That day he was sentenced for having illegally exercised the profession of a security guard, replacing at short notice a bodyguard of the singer. Adds more a judgment fraud conviction, since he presented an invoice when he had no authorization to take on this role. But that’s not all. He also gets a conviction for simple fraud. During the health crisis, he would have benefited from state aid, the “whatever it takes”, in order to compensate for its decline in activity. Only here, he was not one of the beneficiaries. While the sentence of fifteen months in prison dates back to last March, the judges had given him a deadline to get organized. And for good reason, Amel Bent was due to give birth a few weeks later the jugement. They had therefore issued him with a warrant of deferred committal and had postponed the date of his imprisonment.

Patrick Antonelli, already sentenced in 2020

It’s not not the first time that the companion of the coach of The Voice meets justice. Between 2013 and 2015, he found himself at the heart of a driving license traffic case. According to information from Parisianhe sold them for thousands of euros “to football stars and the media, with the complicity of agents from the Hauts-de-Seine prefecture”. Then sentenced to four years in prison, including two firm in July 2020, he had appealed to avoid serving this sentence. A recourse which had been paid but which had obliged him to have to wear an electronic bracelet.
