Bruno Pelat, by the justice box. Iris Mittenaere’s companion will be tried in Paris court on Friday afternoon for domestic violence, the prosecution said. He will have to appear, in immediate appearance, for domestic violence without total incapacity for work and illicit use of narcotics, said the public prosecutor. The man was taken into custody on Tuesday, a measure which was later extended.
On Thursday, the prosecution explained that, according to the first investigative acts, “the facts, reported via the digital victim support platform, would have taken place at the home of the accused, during the night from Monday to Tuesday”. The 31-year-old influencer and television host suffered a hand injury but the circumstances of this injury must be determined, said a source close to the matter.
But who is Bruno Pelat, this young man of 22 years old, until now unknown to the general public?
Among the richest in France
Bruno Pelat is the discreet type. Not a fan of social media, the 22-year-old is the grandson of Roger-Patrice Pelat. The latter was a very good friend of the former President of the Republic François Mitterrand, indicate our colleagues from Echoes. Bruno Pelat’s father is none other than Olivier Pelat, who in just over two decades built a veritable empire with Euroequipments. A company that builds offices and hotels throughout France.
The Pelats are among the richest families in France. Their fortune is estimated at 1.6 billion euros. The magazine Challenges even places the family in 78th place in its latest ranking of the 500 professional fortunes in France.
Bruno Pelat is also the president of Apollon investments, a company founded last year, which operates in… real estate. Our colleagues from The Voice of the Northrelayed by The Parisianindicates that the young man works for the family business.
A relationship in the shadows
Discreet in his professional life as in his private life. However, Iris Mittenaere is used to the spotlight since her coronation of Miss France, then Miss Universe in 2016. The 31-year-old young woman, with a large following on social networks (3.4 million subscribers on Instagram), was very inclined to share the moments with her ex-companion, Diego El Glaoui, before experiencing a complicated separation. With Bruno Pelat, Iris Mittenaere opted for significantly less active communication. Both have not spoken about the ongoing domestic violence case.
