Gerard Depardieu Under Investigation for Fiscal Fraud in France While Awaiting Postponed Sexual Assault Trial
Gerard Depardieu, who is already indicted on rape and sexual assault charges, is now being investigated for aggravated fiscal fraud in France.
In December 2012, Depardieu announced he was abandoning his French citizenship and moving to Belgium shortly after then-president Francois Hollande vowed to impose a 75% tax on income above €1 million a year. The 75-year-old actor is due to stand trial on March 24 and 25 on charges stemming from two alleged sexual assaults dating back to the filming of Jean Becker’s “The Green Shutters” (“Les volets verts”) in the South of France in August and September 2021. The actor has long been considered a mascot of France’s cinematic history and has starred in over 150 films, including classics such as Jean-Paul Rappeneau’s “Cyrano de Bergerac” and Peter Weir’s “Green Card,” opposite Andie MacDowell.
