Pierre Palmade to Serve Sentence Under Electronic Monitoring Following Court Approval

The Bordeaux court granted the comedian's request for sentence adjustment, with the prosecutor given 24 hours to appeal the decision.

Pierre Palmade, convicted in November 2024 for causing a drug-influenced car accident in February 2023, has been approved for release under electronic monitoring.
The accident resulted in severe injuries to three people, including a pregnant woman who lost her unborn child.
Palmade's lawyers argued that electronic monitoring was more suitable due to his health issues and medical needs.
The sentence enforcement court in Bordeaux reviewed and approved the adjustment on March 26, 2025, after deliberating on his request filed three months earlier.
The prosecutor has 24 hours to appeal the decision, during which Palmade will remain in prison if an appeal is filed.
