After having known a few complicated months when the affair was revealed in the media, the singer had managed to restore some serenity in her life.
For several months, we have known that the trial of Patrick Antonelli for corruption and money laundering was to be held in June.
Open on June 17, the three sessions allowed the accused to take stock of his actions. However, a detail of his testimony did not fail to appeal to the media.
Amel Bent’s husband faces 5 years in prison
It all started when Patrick Antonelli fell in love with The Voice jury. Managing a driving school in the Paris region, it has allowed many people, including some celebrities, to obtain their driving license without having to pass it.
For a fee, the artist’s husband was able to benefit from the complicity of a prefecture agent, who was also prosecuted in this bleak case.
After having already detained a few years ago, Patrick Antonelli today risks up to 5 years in prison and a fine of 150,000 euros.
This situation is not without worrying Amel Bent, who had already had a particularly bad experience with the beginnings of this affair, when her husband had been in prison for a few months.

To defend himself during the first session of the trial, the man claimed to have orchestrated everything to put himself on the same financial level as his lover and his friends. Obviously, it is unlikely that this circumstance will find sympathy with the judge.
While the verdict is expected for July 8, Amel Bent tries as best she can to keep face and support the father of her daughters on social networks. On Father’s Day, she hadn’t failed to make a formal declaration to him.
“A happy father’s day to my father and my husband whom I love. You are not perfect. Nobody is perfect. If God forgives, then who am I to judge? Sometimes we do our best but we know it, “the best is very often the enemy of good”, she wrote in a message on Instagram.
If the singer has obviously forgiven the misdeeds of her lover, it would seem, however, that the couple has made a heartbreaking decision for the next verdict.
Amel Bent and her husband divorced a few months ago
In fact, as Public magazine rightly points out, the couple divorced well before the start of this trial. A particularly surprising news if we believe the last shots posted on Instagram by the pretty brunette.
Throughout confinement, love seemed to be flawless between the two parents. But then, what could have happened?
- Faced with the judge who asked him why the young parents made separate tax returns, Amel Bent’s husband replied that they had divorced.
- According to lawyers for Patrick Antonelli, the purpose of this divorce was clearly to avoid the singer having to pay the fine of her husband herself.
It must be said that when convicted of tax fraud last year, the man had already been sentenced to several hundred thousand euros in fines. Today, his financial situation does not allow him to honor this debt.
“The prosecutor demanded a large fine against my client, when he was already sentenced last year for tax evasion to pay several hundred thousand euros. An amount that he is unable to repay. And as you know, he divorced amicably last year because it is not up to his wife to pay. “Defense lawyers said.
It therefore seems obvious that the couple ended their marriage to protect Amel Bent and his fortune, as well as the future of their two daughters. A decision that must have been difficult to make when you know the love that unites the singer with her husband.
