The Balkanys asked to leave their mill in Giverny, no longer having the usufruct after a conviction for tax fraud

Patrick and Isabelle Balkany have been asked to leave their mill in Giverny due to their 2023 conviction for tax fraud laundering. Their usufruct was confiscated two and a half years ago, making their stay impossible. The couple, aged 78 and 79, hid €13 million from tax authorities between 2007 and 2014, resulting in prison sentences and fines. Their properties, including the Giverny mill and luxury villas, have been seized. However, a temporary agreement has been reached allowing them to return to the mill shortly.
