New information concerning the hospitalization of Pierre Palmade was given by Amaury Bucco, journalist for CNews, this Monday, February 27. His room will be watched by prison guards and not police.
Pierre Palmade is at the origin of a terrible car accident which took place on February 10, 2023. While he was driving his car, in Seine-et-Marne, the comedian deported in the left lane, hitting another vehicle head-on. He seriously injured a pregnant woman, who later lost her baby, a man and his six-year-old son. Pierre Palmade is the subject of two investigations and the Paris Court of Appeal ordered his placement in pre-trial detention this Monday, February 27. Thus, when his state of health allows it, the comedian will be placed in the penitentiary center of Fresnes, in Val-de-Marne. However, Pierre Palmade is currently hospitalized since he suffered a stroke two days ago. As Amaury Bucco, journalist for CNews, indicated, there will be a small change and his hospital room will now be “guarded by prison guards and no longer by the police”he wrote.
It was a decision that was highly anticipated. This Monday, February 27, the Paris Court of Appeal ordered the provisional detention of Pierre Palmade. As RMC indicated, these are two important elements that have been taken into account: “The risk of repetition and the need to preserve ongoing investigations“, explained the media. At the time of the facts, Pierre Palmade was under the influence of cocaine and the three magistrates considered that it was possible that the comedian is made to start overr, if he was at liberty. In addition, this affair is highly publicized and this decision should make it possible to avoid numerous leaks coming to disturb it. Supported at the Kremlin-Bicêtre hospital since his stroke, Pierre Palmade should therefore join the prison of Fresnes, as soon as the doctors give their agreement. As a reminder, the comedian was indicted for homicide and involuntary injuries and he is also the subject of a second investigation for child pornography.
