VSondamned on January 9 to three and a half years in prison and 400,000 euros in damages for “tax evasion” and “money laundering”, Isabelle Balkany could soon benefit from conditional release, from March 6. The Évreux prosecutor’s office, which refuses to suspend her sentence, took this decision on the sole condition that she pay her debt to the tax authorities, reports BFMTV, Wednesday 1er March.

In January, after the justice decided on the confusion of the sentences of the Balkany spouses, also confiscating from them the usufruct of their mill in Giverny, Isabelle Balkany had requested a suspension of sentence for medical reasons.

Last year, after having Covid-19, Isabelle Balkany had been hospitalized following a suicide attempt and had also revealed at the beginning of the summer to have cancer.

New trial scheduled for April 4

For now, Isabelle Balkany is still at the Giverny mill, where she has been allowed to stay since leaving the hospital. And this despite the confiscation of the property. On April 4, she and her husband Patrick will once again have to face justice in a completely different case: they are accused of having broadcast a photomontage of a sexual nature to make an opponent of the town hall of Levallois-Perret resign in February 2021.
