US EditionDeliveroo Orders to Paris Address Cited in Tax Residency Case Against Former France Midfielder Nasri
- In March, a Paris court ordered the temporary seizure of assets belonging to 38-year-old Samir Nasri, who authorities allege owes more than $6.3 million in wealth and income taxes for 2018-2025.
- French authorities argue Nasri is a tax resident, citing court documents showing 487 days spent in France compared to 226 days in the UAE, alongside 212 Deliveroo orders sent to a Paris address in 2022.
- Jean-Noël Sanchez, Nasri's lawyer, contested the alleged tax debt as "imaginary," asserting his client is a "perfect French citizen" who lives in the UAE with his family.
- Sanchez is appealing the seizure ruling, arguing the principle of presumption of innocence is being attacked, though it may take years to resolve the broader tax dispute.
- Defense claims suggest France has decided to "attack all those who live in the United Arab Emirates," though authorities must prove Nasri's residency status in court to collect disputed arrears.
