Pierre Palmade Sentenced to Five Years in Prison for 2023 Car Accident

The French comedian received two years of firm imprisonment and three years of probation for causing a severe collision while under the influence of drugs.

  • Pierre Palmade was convicted of 'aggravated involuntary injuries' after a February 2023 car crash that injured three people, including a six-year-old and a pregnant woman who lost her baby.
  • The court sentenced Palmade to five years in prison, with two years to be served in custody and three years under probationary conditions.
  • A mandate of immediate execution has been issued, meaning Palmade will be incarcerated even if he appeals the decision.
  • Palmade's lawyers may request a sentence adjustment, such as electronic monitoring or semi-liberty, but this process will require judicial approval and could take several months.
  • The Bordeaux prosecutor's office will determine the location and timing of his incarceration, likely placing him in a secure facility due to his high-profile status.
