French rapper Gandhi Djuna, widely known by his stage name Gims, has been named as a suspect in a major organised crime investigation into international money laundering, French prosecutors announced. The National Prosecutor's Office for Organised Crime (Pnaco) confirmed that potential links have been identified between the artist and an international criminal network under active scrutiny by France's National Anti-Fraud Office (ONAF).
According to the Pnaco statement, investigators have identified suspicions relating to the use of funds of illicit origin for property investments abroad, as well as laundering operations specifically designed to conceal the source of those funds. Central to the probe is a luxury real estate development south of Marrakech, Morocco, in which Gims is understood to have played a visible promotional role.
Sunset Village Under the Microscope
The project in question, Sunset Village Private Residences, was publicly launched in 2025 with the singer in attendance. The development, promoted by a company now also under customs investigation, plans to deliver 117 high-end villas built around a 3,000 square metre lagoon, complete with sports facilities, a spa, sauna and hammam. Gims appeared in multiple promotional videos for the complex, raising his public profile in connection with the scheme.
