- Isabelle Balkany (@ibalkany) January 21, 2020This is the fourth time that Patrick Balkany has applied for release. He has been incarcerated since September 13 at the remand center of Health after being sentenced to a four-year prison sentence for tax fraud, to which is added a five-year sentence for laundering tax fraud.
The mayor of Levallois-Perret also requested, through his lawyer, an adjustment of his judicial control in the context of the tax fraud component.
