LFI deputy Carlos Martens Bilongo is under investigation for suspicions of laundering, tax fraud and abuse of social assets. The 32-year-old Insoumise is suspected of having concealed a little less than 200,000 euros over the period 2018-2022.

The MP allegedly received transfers to his bank accounts and cashed several tens of thousands of euros in cash while he told the HATVP that he did not receive any remuneration from his companies. The black deputy found himself in the news last November when the RN deputy of Gironde Grégoire de Fournas cut one of his interventions by launching "Let him return to Africa!"
