- Gerard Depardieu has faced tax fraud in trials, Depardieu's tax residence has been interrogated in Belgium since 2012.
- He also faces the trial of sexual assault in March 2025.
- Investigations have significant effects on the DePardieu profession and French cinema.
Gerard Depardio, the famous French actor, is currently facing an investigation into strict tax fraud in France. This legal case arises because it also deals with the trial of the postponed sexual assault in March 2025.
The tax fraud allegations focus on the DePardieu demand for tax residence in Belgium, the situation he has occupied since 2012. This decision was largely seen as an attempt to evade tax rates on France, which led to the general debate and criticism at that time.
The Depardieu issue includes a complex mixture of legal challenges. The tax investigation was launched by the prosecutors in the financial crime and included raids in France and Belgium, as well as police interviews.

This investigation is separate, but it occurs alongside the trial of sexual assault, which was delayed due to health concerns. Sexual assault allegations include accidents while filming “Les Volets Verts” in 2021, along with a separate claim in 2014.
Investigations and continuous experiences can have severe consequences for the DePardieu profession and the broader French filmmaking. Its influence on French cinema has attracted criticism and support from different groups, as some defend it as a cultural symbol.
