PARIS, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Investigators searched the

offices of U.S. streaming giant Netflix ( NFLX ) in France and

the Netherlands as part of a preliminary investigation into tax

fraud laundering, a French judicial source said on Tuesday.

The French investigation was opened in November 2022, the

source said.

French and Dutch investigators were collaborating on the

probe and Dutch authorities were simultaneously searching the

company's European headquarters in Amsterdam, the source added.

"Cooperation between the French and Dutch authorities

has been underway for many months as part of these proceedings,"

the source said.

Representatives for Netflix ( NFLX ) did not immediately respond to a

request for comment.
