Samir Nasri Arrested For Money Laundering After Being Found Out Through 200+ Deliveroo Orders

Ex-Arsenal and Man City star Samir Nasri is facing a massive unpaid tax bill after misrepresenting his place of residence, and being found out through 200+ Deliveroo orders he made.

Nasri, 39, is based in Dubai for tax purposes, but has apparently been spending most of his time in Paris, which means he should be paying tax in his native France.

French tax officials uncovered this by discovering he made 212 Deliveroo food deliveries to a Paris address in 2022 alone, and flight records that show he spent 208 days in France compared to just 42 in Dubai.

Being on French TV for several times a week as a pundit for broadcaster Canal+ probably didn’t help his case either.

He now has to cough up around 5.5 million euros in unpaid taxes and penalties covering the period from 2019 – 2025.

Nasri’s legal team contests the claim, arguing that the tax demands are “imaginary” and that friends or family could have placed the orders on his account. Which I guess is possible, but come on now.

It’s too bad Nasri didn’t pick up a few tricks from his old bosses at Manchester City, otherwise he may have got away with it. Still not the most embarrassing thing to happen to him, though. Remember when his girlfriend took his phone and Tweeted this:

Oof.

Aside from the tax evasion, Nasri is also being investigated over his financial involvement in a nightclub called “XS” located in Ivry-sur-Seine.

Nasri initially became a shareholder in the club in 2016 while still playing football. He eventually became a co-owner.

French authorities are examining if the venue was used to launder the proceeds of a major drugs ring. The network is tied to jailed Marseille drug trafficking kingpin Hakim Berrebouh AKA Wild Boar and his associate Olivier Sabbah.

Peak times for Samir Nasri.
