French rapper Gims, whose real name is Gandhi Djuna, was placed in police custody on Wednesday, March 26, 2026. The custody is part of an ongoing judicial investigation into organized money laundering, according to reports from the Paris prosecutor's office.
The investigation, led by an investigating judge from the Paris judicial court's financial center, is examining complex financial flows. It is being conducted by the Central Office for the Fight against Corruption and Financial and Tax Offenses (OCLCIFF).
Gims, a major figure in the French music scene and a member of the group Sexion d'Assaut, has not publicly commented on the custody. His lawyer's statements, if any, were not immediately available from verified sources.
The Paris prosecutor's office confirmed the custody but did not provide further details on the specific allegations, citing the ongoing nature of the investigation. The legal procedure allows for an initial custody period of up to 48 hours, which can be extended under French law.
