French judicial sources say the French and Dutch authorities have raided Netflix’s offices in Paris and Amsterdam as part of an investigation into tax fraud.
Officials from the two countries have been cooperating on the case since the investigation was opened in November 2022.
Netflix has not as yet made any specific comment on the raids but insists it complies with tax laws wherever it operates.
The Amsterdam office is the headquarters of the company’s operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
The French investigation is being carried out by the National Financial Prosecutor’s Office (PNF), a special unit used for investigations into high-profile white-collar crime.
It relates to suspicions of “covering up serious tax fraud and off-the-books work”, according to the PNF.
