Isabelle Balkany in police custody, the couple's heritage in the sights of justice!

This Wednesday, Isabelle Balkany, first deputy of Levallois-Perret (Hauts-de-Seine) and wife of the mayor of the city, was placed in police custody in the premises of the central direction of the judicial police (DCPJ) in Nanterre . According to M6 , she would be questioned as part of a judicial investigation of a financial nature relating to the heritage of her couple. “A suspicious movement of money arriving on the Balkany account would have been observed by the investigators”, specifies the chain. For the moment, neither the couple's lawyer nor Patrick Balkany have commented on this case.

 In December 2013, the Balkany couple had been targeted by a financial investigation, following the revelations of Didier Schuller, a former relative. At the time, a judicial investigation for laundering tax evasion had been opened and Patrick Balkany had been suspected of having concealed assets abroad from the tax authorities.The name of Patrick Balkany, re-elected mayor in the first round last March, is also mentioned in a case of fictitious employment. In 1996, he was sentenced to fifteen months suspended prison sentence and two years of ineligibility for having used the services of three municipal employees for personal purposes, reports "Le Parisien".
