French rapper Maître Gims, whose real name is Gandhi Djuna, has been charged in a money laundering investigation, according to reports from French media. The charges are linked to a probe into a luxury car rental company, as confirmed by judicial sources to Agence France-Presse (AFP).
The investigation, which began in 2021, focuses on the activities of the company 'Luxury Car Paris'. Authorities are examining financial flows and suspect the company may have been used to launder money from drug trafficking. The rapper was taken into custody on March 26, 2026, and subsequently charged.
Maître Gims, a major star in the French-speaking music world and a member of the group Sexion d'Assaut, has not publicly commented on the charges. His lawyer stated that his client denies any wrongdoing. The investigation remains ongoing.
