Blanc reportedly went to a police station to be interviewed under caution by detectives before being remanded in custody to appear at the Palais de Justice. The 48-year-old was expected to appear in front of a court in Paris to be questioned by prosecutors over the alleged domestic abuse.
The Parquet de Police declined to comment about the case, saying, "For now it is a domestic affair and we will not be communicating anything."
