PARIS — Law enforcement officials specializing in fraud and corruption conducted searches at Netflix offices in both France and the Netherlands on Tuesday, as part of an ongoing investigation into suspected financial misconduct, according to judicial sources.

French and Dutch authorities have collaborated for several months on this inquiry, which is focused on alleged money laundering linked to tax fraud and unregistered employment, as revealed by a judicial official in France who requested anonymity due to the confidentiality of ongoing legal processes.

The French police team, which includes experts in significant tax fraud, money laundering, corruption, and other financial crimes, executed the raid at Netflix’s French headquarters. These investigators were joined by representatives from the national prosecutor’s office in France, which also deals with financial offenses, as stated by the unnamed official.

The investigation was initiated in November 2022, highlighting the seriousness of the allegations being examined.

At the same time, Dutch prosecutors carried out a search at Netflix’s European base in Amsterdam, following a request made by French authorities. Emma Bosma, a representative from the National Office for Serious Fraud, Environmental Crime, and Asset Confiscation, confirmed that the Amsterdam operation was executed in cooperation with French law enforcement.

Netflix has not yet provided a response to inquiries made regarding the raids and the broader investigation from its online media center.
