Congolese singer Gims, whose real name is Gandhi Djuna, was reportedly detained by French authorities upon his arrival in Paris, according to media reports.
The incident occurred at Charles de Gaulle Airport, where the artist was stopped while passing through customs. The detention is said to be linked to an ongoing investigation by French authorities into a network of financial criminals specializing in money laundering.
According to the report, Gims’ name has surfaced in connection with the broader inquiry, though details regarding the nature of his alleged involvement remain unclear.
French authorities have not yet publicly commented on the case, and it is unknown whether the artist has been formally charged or released.
Gims, a prominent figure in Francophone music, has not issued a public statement regarding the incident.
The development comes as part of a wider effort by French investigators to dismantle financial crime networks operating across borders.
