The national financial prosecutor's office (PNF) revealed that a seizure of 65 million euros has been carried out in an investigation for tax fraud involving McKinsey. This amount represents 96% of the tax damage assessed by the institution.

The seizure was made with the support of the Belgian judiciary, indicating cooperation between the judicial authorities of both countries.

On August 19, the Brussels prosecutor's office, particularly the International and European Affairs Directorate, actively participated in this operation targeting illicit financial practices.

According to information released by Le Figaro, the amount of the seizure was confirmed by the PNF in an official statement, highlighting the importance of the ongoing investigation.

Franceinfo also emphasized that this action is part of a broader inquiry concerning allegations of aggravated money laundering related to tax fraud surrounding McKinsey.

Authorities continue to explore various aspects of this case, with particular attention paid to the financial and legal implications of these practices.
