Overview

• 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.
