The streaming provider had unpleasant visits to Paris and Amsterdam. The company is accused of tax fraud and illegal work.
The headquarters of the US streaming giant Netflix in Paris and Amsterdam were searched because of tax allegations. Financial investigators and anti-corruption investigators took a close look at the company’s headquarters in France, as the German Press Agency in Paris learned from judicial circles. Other, unspecified locations were also searched.
The raids took place as part of an investigation into Netflix on suspicion of concealing tax fraud and illegal employment.
At the same time as the raids in France, Dutch investigators searched Netflix’s European headquarters in Amsterdam. This was announced by a spokesman for the public prosecutor’s office. He did not provide any further information. “We have responded to a request for legal assistance from the French authorities. You are leading the investigation.”
The preliminary investigations against the video streaming market leader have been running since November 2022. Exact details were initially not known. (APA/DPA)
