French rapper Gims, whose real name is Gandhi Djuna, has been formally charged in a major money laundering investigation, according to French judicial sources. The charges were confirmed by the Paris prosecutor's office on March 27, 2026.
The investigation, led by a specialized financial unit, is examining a complex network of financial flows and real estate transactions suspected of being used to conceal the origin of funds. The probe is part of a broader crackdown on financial crime.
Gims, a major figure in the French music scene known for hits like 'Sapés comme jamais', was taken into custody for questioning earlier this week before being presented to an investigating magistrate. His lawyer has stated they will contest the charges.
The case does not currently involve allegations of tax fraud, focusing specifically on the laundering charges. The investigation remains ongoing, with other individuals potentially implicated.
