The Balkany couple, Patrick and Isabelle Balkany, have faced multiple prison sentences related to tax fraud, money laundering, and related offenses in France. The precise terms have varied across trials and appeals over the years. Key points:

• In 2019, Patrick Balkany was sentenced to four years in prison for tax fraud and ten years of ineligibility; his wife Isabelle Balkany received a three-year prison term and ten years of ineligibility, though she was not immediately incarcerated due to health reasons. These sentences were part of a high-profile tax-fraud and money-laundering case involving the Levallois-Perret local government.

• In subsequent proceedings, the Balkanys faced additional convictions related to money laundering and fraud, with further prison terms and ongoing legal disputes, including appeals that modified or upheld portions of their sentences.

• The overall saga includes periods of incarceration, health-related absences, appeals, and eventual modifications or remands of sentences, reflecting the complexity and longevity of the proceedings against the couple.
