After 48 hours in police custody, the singer was released under judicial supervision. The investigation concerns a money laundering case being handled in Paris.
An investigation into an alleged money laundering network
Gims, whose real name is Gandhi Djuna, was formally charged on Friday with aggravated money laundering and then released under judicial supervision. The 39-year-old artist is the subject of an investigation into an alleged money laundering network.
The singer was arrested Wednesday upon his arrival at Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle airport and taken into custody. He was then questioned at the offices of the National Anti-Fraud Office in Ivry-sur-Seine. His detention lasted 48 hours before he was brought before a judge.
Judicial supervision with bail
Following this presentation, the court decided to formally charge him and place him under judicial supervision. This measure includes an obligation to pay bail, the amount of which has not been made public.
This is a matter that goes beyond the artist alone.
The investigation doesn't only concern Gims. Two people close to him have also been charged in this case. The exact facts that could be brought against each of them will need to be clarified during the course of the investigation.
