The day after the confirmation by the Court of Appeal of Rouen (Seine-Maritime) of the revocation of their placement under electronic bracelet, decided on December 17, Patrick Balkany returns to the shortcomings at the origin of this decision which could drive into custody.
First of all, how is your wife Isabelle Balkany?
PATRICK BALKANY
.
She remains hospitalized at the moment.
She was taken care of very quickly and the worst was avoided.
I didn't go see her today, because I didn't know if they were going to pick me up.
For now, I'm waiting in Giverny (Eure).
I don't know if they're going to send me back to jail, or when or if we're going to go back to the sentencing judge.
The Évreux public prosecutor's office accuses you of having "played with fire" and of not having respected the conditions of your placement under an electronic bracelet.
Have you been seen too often in Levallois?
It is totally false.
I came to Levallois, respecting the departure times (
from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., knowing that Giverny is an hour's drive away
).
And then more, from December 17, when I no longer had a bracelet since I no longer had any timetables.
It was their decision to take that bracelet off me, not mine.
Even though they were to be taken away from us on March 10 to be placed under judicial supervision.
It is still very surprising.
The prosecution also accuses you of a "total lack of effort to clear" your tax debt, since you have been convicted of tax evasion.
Agrasc (
agency for the management and recovery of seized and confiscated assets
) has in its possession nearly 3 million euros, which correspond to Isabelle's deposit and the sale of the house in Saint-Martin.
Why does the taxman not receive this sum to settle our tax debt?
We wrote to this effect to the Minister of the Economy and Budget, but we never received a response.
Besides, we don't even know how much we owe exactly.
In the meantime, we pay 1,000 euros per month to the tax authorities, who are asking us to make up ISF over ten years.
