French and Dutch agents registered this Tuesday the offices in Paris and Amsterdam of the American multinational entertainment company Netflix for suspicions of crimes of “laundering and aggravated tax fraud” and “fictitious work in an organized gang,” judicial sources informed EFE.
Dutch authorities are carrying out searches at Netflix’s headquarters in Amsterdam within a coordinated operationfor months, through the European Union Agency for Criminal Judicial Cooperation (Eurojust). The searches in France were carried out by investigators from the Central Office for the Fight against Corruption and Financial and Tax Infringements (OCLCIFF), in the presence of members of the National Financial Prosecutor’s Office.
This operation responds to the preliminary investigation opened two years ago on charges of “aggravated money laundering and tax fraud” and “fictitious work in an organized gang.” The Netflix subsidiary in France was the subject of a tax inspection in 2019, 2020 and 2021.
