Love Island winner's girlfriend is jailed for $2.6m tax fraud
She also must pay $1.4 million in restitution after prosecutors said she hid more than $2.6 million from the IRS.
On Wednesday, September 23, 2026, United States District Judge Percy Anderson sentenced Iris Rabaya Au to 18 months in prison for failing to declare over $2.6 million in income to the IRS.
Prosecutors said Au established financial infrastructure enabling her ex-partner, Adam Iza, to conceal millions in fraud proceeds; Iza is currently serving a 15-year prison sentence for robbery and kidnapping in Connecticut.
Alongside her sentence, Au was ordered to pay $1.4 million in restitution, while authorities seized luxury assets including 14 Louis Vuitton handbags, three Chanel bags, and vehicles like a Porsche 911 and Ferrari 488 Pista.
Defense attorney Christopher Darden argued her case, while partner Davide Sanclimenti vowed to stand by her; Au previously stated she was a victim of coercion, though she took "full responsibility."
The investigation into Iza uncovered a broader criminal scheme involving the bribery of Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputies to obtain confidential information and the use of illicit funds to hide millions.
Social media star Iris Rabaya Au, who is also the girlfriend of Love Island superstar Davide Sanclimenti, has been jailed for failing to declare her huge profits from selling cryptocurrency. The star will serve 18 months in prison, pay a £1 million fine and surrender luxury goods including cars and handbags.
