French rapper and singer Gims, whose real name is Gandhi Djuna, has been formally charged with aggravated money laundering and participating in a criminal conspiracy, according to French judicial sources. The charges, confirmed by the Paris prosecutor's office, stem from a long-running investigation into financial crimes.
The investigation, led by a specialized financial unit, is examining the origin of funds used for several real estate acquisitions. Gims was taken into custody for questioning on March 26, 2026, and was subsequently presented before a judge who ordered the formal charges.
His lawyer, Me Antoine Vey, stated that his client contests the accusations and is cooperating with the judicial authorities. The case is part of a broader probe into complex financial networks.
If convicted, the charges of aggravated money laundering and criminal conspiracy carry severe penalties under French law. The investigation is ongoing, and no trial date has been set.
