Father Antoine Videau, 64, received a three-year prison sentence for crimes that led to him being known as the "Playboy Padre".
He was revealed to have been in possession of 28 bank accounts around the world following his arrest.
Much of the money was being used to fund his multi-millionaire lifestyle which included regular visits to casinos in Las Vegas and Monte Carlo.
