French rapper Gims, whose real name is Gandhi Djuna, has been placed under formal investigation as part of a probe into suspected tax fraud and money laundering. Judicial sources confirm that investigators have identified suspicious financial flows estimated at nearly 8 million euros.
The investigation, led by the National Financial Prosecutor's Office (PNF), focuses on the singer's financial activities between 2015 and 2022. The probe examines potential tax evasion related to undeclared income from concerts, royalties, and image rights, as well as complex international money transfers.
Gims, one of France's most-streamed artists, has consistently denied any wrongdoing. His legal team has stated they are cooperating fully with the authorities and contest the accusations. The artist was released under judicial supervision following his hearing.
The case, which has drawn significant media attention in France, underscores ongoing efforts by French authorities to combat financial fraud in the entertainment industry. No trial date has been set as the investigation continues.
