Full story

Netflix headquarters in France and the Netherlands are reportedly under investigation for possible tax fraud and money laundering. The offices were searched Tuesday, Nov. 5.

A special financial prosecution unit called the PNF is handling the French investigation in Paris.

The group is known for conducting high-stakes investigations that often involve large international companies. However, it doesn’t necessarily mean criminal charges will be filed.

French news agency AFP cited an unnamed judicial source who said this is related to an investigation opened in 2022 into suspicions of covering up “serious tax fraud and off-the-books works.”

Dutch authorities searched the company’s Amsterdam headquarters at the same time.

Netflix is also under investigation in France for its tax filings from 2019 to 2021.

When those investigations went public in 2023, Netflix insisted it complies with tax laws in all countries where it operates.

Netflix hasn’t commented on the investigations.
