Gims Makes Surprise Return at Théodora’s Sold-Out Paris Show Two Days After Being Placed Under Judicial Investigation

The appearance signals a return to public life under ongoing scrutiny from a court probe into suspected organized money laundering.

Overview

  • Gims, who stepped onstage Sunday at the Zénith de Paris, joined Théodora to perform their duet Spa before about 7,000 fans at the first of her four sold-out dates.
  • The set marked his first public outing since Friday’s placement under judicial investigation following a week that began with his arrest on arrival in Paris and 48 hours in police custody.
  • Investigators accuse him of taking part in organized money laundering and of cleaning funds tied to aggravated tax fraud, which in France triggers a formal inquiry stage known as mise en examen.
  • Under judicial supervision, he must post a bond, avoid named associates, and inform the judge of his travel, and he remains presumed innocent as the probe continues.
  • Prosecutors say the case stems from a wider inquiry run by specialized Paris judges since June 2023, with 15 people already under investigation and five in custody, and it includes suspected use of illicit funds for large real estate projects abroad.
