The police custody of French-Congolese rapper and singer Gims has been extended as part of an investigation into alleged organized money laundering, according to the French National Financial Prosecutor's Office (PNF). The artist, whose real name is Gandhi Djuna, was initially taken into custody on Wednesday, March 25, 2026.
The investigation is being handled by the Central Office for the Fight against Corruption and Financial and Tax Offenses (OCLCIFF). The probe is examining suspicions of money laundering by an organized criminal group, with the alleged activities believed to have taken place between 2021 and 2024.
Gims, 39, is a major figure in the French music scene, known for hits like "Sapés comme jamais" and "Bella." His lawyer has not yet made a public statement regarding the extension of his custody. The PNF confirmed the ongoing judicial proceedings but did not provide further details on the specific allegations.
