Le Parisien reveals that the court has ruled: the €200,000 that Dembélé transferred to his mother in 2017 will indeed be taxed. Fatimata Dembélé claimed it was simply a gift for her 40th birthday… but the administrative court of Rennes did not agree.
The decision is harsh: the court rejects the Dembélé family’s request to avoid taxation on this “gift.” The reason is simple, according to the judges. The transfer was made more than six months after the birthday, and especially to an undeclared Spanish account. For the court, it does not resemble a gift, but rather an income of indeterminate origin, and therefore taxable.
