It's a day far from the crowns, Miss sash and glitter that Iris Mittenaere spent on Wednesday, November 6. Miss France 2016 was expected at the Paris Criminal Court, where she found her ex-companion, Bruno Pelat, against whom she filed a complaint for domestic violence last September and who was being tried in immediate appearance. The trial was postponed at Iris's request until November 6. But everything apparently did not go as planned for the beauty queen, supported by her mother Laurence and her little sister Manon in addition to her lawyer Maître Emilie Bruézière.
As confided TV Mag who was able to attend the start of the hearing, a closed session was requested by Iris Mittenaere's lawyer who believes that his client's notoriety could be an enclave to her freedom of speech and that “very personal facts were going to be mentioned.” Some even concern Diego El Glaoui, the man who shared Iris Mittenaere's life before she became a couple with Bruno Pelat and with whom she continues to be in contact for professional reasons.
Always according to TV Mag, an audio recording by Diego El Glaoui in which “he criticizes Iris for wrongly accusing him of domestic violence“ was also at the heart of the debate and attracted the full attention of Bruno Pelat's defense who would therefore like to use it to defend him and that “the truth comes out“. The closed session requested by the civil party was accepted by the president during the hearing.
A firm prison sentence for Bruno Pelat
At the end of September, Iris Mittenaere appeared at Fashion Week at the Etam live show to be precise. If she had tried to hide it, she appeared injured in the hand, a consequence of the violence of which she accuses Bruno Pelat. The latter was arrested by the police and placed in police custody, before an immediate trial was requested. This is the judgment that took place yesterday.
Bruno Pelat was tried in particular for illicit use of narcotics and violence without incapacity by a person who was or had been the spouse, common-law partner or partner of the victim. If he was sentenced to 12 months in prison, 6 of which were suspended for domestic violence, CNews reports, however, that “justice revoked three months of simple suspension pronounced during a prior conviction“. Bruno Pelat therefore finally receivesa sentence of 9 months in prison, “arranged in the form of home detention under electronic surveillance“. It is accompanied by a 2-year probationary suspension with obligation of care and compensation for the civil party with a ban on contact.
