French rapper and singer Gims, whose real name is Gandhi Djuna, has been formally charged with aggravated money laundering and money laundering as part of an organized criminal group. The charges were confirmed by the National Financial Prosecutor's Office (PNF) on Friday, March 27, 2026, following his police custody.
The investigation, led by an investigating judge from the PNF, is part of a broader probe into organized money laundering activities. The case reportedly involves financial transactions and the movement of funds that are suspected to be linked to criminal origins.
Gims, a major figure in the French music scene and a member of the group Sexion d'Assaut, was taken into police custody earlier in the week as part of this judicial inquiry. The specific details of the alleged transactions and the sums involved have not been publicly disclosed by the authorities at this stage of the proceedings.
Under French law, being "mis en examen" is a formal step indicating a judge has found serious or consistent evidence pointing to likely involvement of a person in a crime. It is not a conviction. Gims's lawyer has not yet issued a public statement regarding the charges.
