In one sick instance, Manohara’s mother Daisy Farajina, 44, forced her ex-French husband Jurgen Reiner Noack Pinot, 66, to caress the woman’s body in front of  her.

Pinot, who admitted in court that he was afraid of his wife, did this after Daisy had undressed her adopted daughter, known as Noack, an Indonesian. She then untidily cut her hair as punishment. This happened when Daisy learnt about the sexual relations between Noack and her husband.

Pinot, a financial consultant, was sentenced to four months jail by a magistrate’s court in Grasse, France, last year for sexual assault.

He was also found guilty of “submitting a vulnerable person to undignified working conditions”, court documents made available to the Malay Mail revealed.

The documents, which were translated to English from French and certified by the Alliance Francaise, the official centre for the French language in Kuala Lumpur, revealed that Daisy was sentenced to 18 months jail in
absentia (without her being present) by the same court for submitting a vulnerable and dependent person to undignified working conditions and assault since 1998.

The punishing techniques of Daisy, plus the degrading living conditions of Noack, irked the court which ruled that Daisy was the main culprit.

The beatings were so severe that on the day Noack made a police report, the examining doctor justified total work incapacity of at least a week based on the bruises she suffered.

The offences occurred between April 2004 and April 2007 when they were living in Cannes.

Pinot admitted that he did not try to stop acts of violence by Daisy out of cowardice.

The documents revealed that Pinot had said his wife was out of her mind and that he was even scared of her
because she had knives and scissors in her hands.

While Pinot is believed to be living in the US now, Daisy remains a fugitive in Indonesia.

Daisy fled France after Noack denounced acts of rape and assault in a police report in April 2007.

A warrant of arrest for her was issued on June 26 the same year and she has been on Interpol’s “Red Notice” for the past one year. Interpol had asked Jakarta whether Daisy could be arrested and sent to France.

This was refused as Indonesia and France do not have a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty. Pinot had a previous conviction in May 2006 when he was sentenced by the Grasse criminal court to a suspended term of one year imprisonment and a RM15,000 fine for cheating.

Daisy met Pinot in 2001 in London and they married a year later.  The disclosures come in the wake of our front-page report yesterday that Daisy and a mob assaulted a server of a legal notice at her home in Jakarta
last Saturday.

The notice of nusyuz allegedly riled up Daisy and the server ended up in hospital badly bruised. The Syariah notice demands that Manohara, 17, return to her husband, the Tengku Temenggong Kelantan Tengku Muhammad Fakhry Sultan Ismail, 32.
