The Rennes Administrative Court has confirmed that the €200,000 paid by Ousmane Dembélé to his mother in 2017 is subject to taxation, rejecting Fatimata Dembélé's appeal, according to Le Parisien . She presented the transfer as a "gift" for her 40th birthday, but the court ruled that the more than six-month gap between her birthday and the transfer, as well as the fact that the funds were paid into an undeclared Spanish account, justified taxation as income of undetermined origin.
The mother of the 2025 Ballon d'Or winner had, however, requested a reduction in social security contributions and related levies in 2023, arguing that there had been no tax fraud. Her lawyer, Hubert Lefebvre, had defended the legitimacy of the request, arguing it was proportionate to the player's income. The court rejected these arguments, upholding the tax authorities' decision and maintaining the taxation of this sum.
