France's National Financial Prosecutor's Office has searched the offices of Societe Generale and the homes of the bank's directors as part of a tax fraud investigation.

The investigation, launched in January 2024, targets possible money laundering and criminal conspiracy activities related to Societe Generale's proposed tax arrangements for large French companies. The raids took place at the bank's offices in Paris and Luxembourg and four people, mostly executives, were detained. Authorities are investigating activities since 2009, including international business, notably in Luxembourg.
