French rapper Gims, whose real name is Gandhi Djuna, was placed in police custody on March 26, 2026, as part of a judicial investigation into alleged money laundering in an organized gang. The investigation, led by the National Jurisdiction for the Fight against Organized Crime (JUNALCO), is examining financial flows related to a luxury real estate project in Morocco.
According to sources close to the investigation cited by French media, the probe focuses on the financing of a large-scale real estate development in Marrakech. Investigators are scrutinizing the origin of funds invested in the project and potential money laundering mechanisms. Gims, a major figure in French-speaking music, is known for his investments in real estate alongside his musical career.
The artist's lawyer, Me Antoine Vey, stated that his client is cooperating fully with the authorities. The custody is part of a preliminary investigation, and no charges have been filed at this stage. The investigation remains ongoing.
