Jean Imbert domestic violence investigation

Overview

In early August 2026, French chef Jean Imbert was taken into police custody in Paris after three former partners filed domestic‑violence complaints. The prosecutor opened a case for "violences by a spouse or partner" and assigned it to the 16th arrondissement police. Imbert was removed from his managerial role at the Plaza Athénée while the inquiry proceeded.

Two days later, Imbert was released after about 36 hours and placed under the status of “assisted witness” by the Paris judicial tribunal. Six former companions were interviewed; two complaints (from Lila Salet and Alexandra Rosenfeld) remain under investigation, while the others are time‑barred. No formal charges have been filed, and Imbert remains free pending further investigation.

The case continues to attract media attention in France, but the legal process is still ongoing.
