The Franco-Congolese singer and rapper Gims was taken into custody on Wednesday as part of an investigation into money laundering by an organized group, according to the French anti-organized crime prosecutor's office (Pnaco).
French music star Gandhi Djuna, whose real name is Gandhi Djuna, was arrested upon arrival at Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle airport. According to information revealed by Africa Intelligence, this case involves an international money laundering network using shell companies to commit VAT fraud, issue false invoices, and conceal the origin of illicit funds.
Five former drug traffickers are reportedly implicated. The investigation is focusing in particular on a luxury real estate project in Marrakech, the Sunset Village Private Residences, spearheaded by Gims. This project involves the construction of 117 opulent villas around an artificial lagoon, with a potential turnover estimated at 100 million euros.
His lawyer, David-Olivier Kaminski, declined to comment at this time.
