Singer Gims arrested upon arrival in Paris

French authorities reportedly stopped and questioned Congolese music star Gims at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport as part of an ongoing financial crime investigation, according to reports.

The artist, born Gandhi Djuna, was intercepted while clearing customs after arriving in the French capital. Sources indicate that his name has emerged in an inquiry targeting a network suspected of involvement in money laundering activities.

While details remain limited, the reported action appears to be part of a broader probe by French investigators into cross-border financial crimes. It is not yet clear whether Gims is considered a suspect or simply a person of interest in the case.

Authorities have not issued an official statement, and no charges have been publicly confirmed. The duration and outcome of the questioning also remain unknown.

Gims, a well-known figure in the international music scene, has yet to respond publicly to the reports.
