Résident fiscal à Dubaï, il se fait livrer plus de 200 repas en un an sur Paris : un ex-joueur de l’équipe de France dans le viseur du fisc
According to an investigation by the daily newspaper Les Échos, the Treasury has obtained the seizure of the accounts and a Parisian property of Samir Nasri, former player of the French team, in order to secure a tax debt of 5.51 million euros.
The French tax authorities have initiated a major tax reassessment procedure against former international footballer Samir Nasri (41 caps). To guarantee future payment of this sum, the Treasury has placed a judicial mortgage on a property located in Paris and seized his bank accounts at Edmond de Rothschild.
This precautionary measure, initiated last July, was validated on March 12 by the Paris Judicial Court. The tax authorities estimate the current debt owed by the 38-year-old retiree at €5.51 million, including €5.25 million in back income tax payments between 2020 and 2022.
The dispute centers on the challenge to the tax residency status of the former Manchester City player in Dubai. According to an investigation by the website Les Échos, the tax authorities believe that the center of his vital interests is located in France. To support this argument, the authorities point out that Samir Nasri, a consultant for Canal+ since the end of 2021, owns three properties in France.
Airlines records also indicate that he stayed in France between 126 and 208 days per year between 2021 and 2023. Another piece of evidence was considered: the delivery in Paris of 212 meals ordered via Deliveroo during the year 2022.
Measures deemed exceptional
The defense team for the former Marseille player denounces the legal uncertainty and has filed an appeal. Tax lawyer Lyès Kaci explained to Les Échos that it is rare for the tax authorities to obtain such measures "even before the proposed adjustment, and certainly without an enforceable judgment." The court justified the asset freeze by citing a lack of transparency, specifically the failure to declare eight bank accounts.
For his part, Samir Nasri received a proposed tax adjustment in early March. He maintains that his French income is already taxed and cites his banking ties with the United Kingdom. "The United Kingdom had exclusive tax jurisdiction over [his] income before [his] move to the Emirates," the footballer stated, according to the business daily.
