Overview
- Gims was arrested at the Paris airport, held in custody, then released under judicial supervision with orders to report his movements.
- The formal step, called mis en examen in French law, opens a judge-led inquiry and does not mean he is guilty.
- The national anti-crime prosecutor’s office is probing a structured network that allegedly cleaned illicit cash through real companies and shell firms.
- Investigators are scrutinizing the €100 million Projet Sunset near Marrakech that Gims touted, with Horizon’s manager saying he put in no money and only lent his image.
- Reporting describes funds routed through false invoices in France before transfers to companies in Portugal, Hungary, and Bulgaria, a pattern now central to the case.
