Gerard Depardieu, a well -known French actor, who is already under investigation of sexual abuse cases, has now been suspected of tax fraud and money laundering. According to the French edition of LE Monde, the investigation in this case has been going on since February 2024, and the key suspicion is tax evasion due to the status of Belgium resident, which the actor has supported since 2013.
In February 2025, the French and Belgian law enforcement officers conducted searches and interrogations in this case, trying to find out how the Department could hide his income using the tax status in Belgium. This is part of a broader investigation into the actor's financial fraud.
The Department moved to Belgium in 2012, protesting against high taxes in France. In 2013, he received a Russian passport from President Vladimir Putin, which additionally summoned a discussion on his political and financial preferences.
This new accusation is added to a number of scandals that accompany the actor's career and can have serious consequences for his reputation and financial situation.
