This week, we highlight the case of Isabelle Adjani, a French Actress and Singer of Algerian and German descent, France, who was sentenced for tax fraud, tax evasion, and money laundering.

In 2016 and 2017, Isabelle Adjani moved to Portugal to avoid paying taxes worth USD 1.2 Mn in France. She falsely claimed that a gift worth USD 2.4 Mn, which she received in 2013, was a loan to avoid paying a 60 percent tax. Adjani transferred USD 0.8 Mn from an offshore account to an undeclared one in the US and later transferred the money to her account in Portugal. Adjani received a donation worth USD 2.9 Mn from Mamadou Diagna Ndiaye, a member of the Senegalese Olympic Committee.
