Last week, police raided several properties owned by Dieudonne M’bala M’bala as part a probe into alleged fraud.

The government accused Dieudonne M’bala M’bala of trying to bankrupt himself in order to avoid paying the fines.

The comedian has caused controversy in recent months with what many regard as anti-Semitic comments.

He has joked about gas chambers and is accused of deriding Holocaust survivors and victims.

Dieudonne M’bala M’bala says the quenelle is an anti-establishment gesture, and denies that he is an anti-Semite, saying he is anti-Zionist.

In January, France’s highest court upheld a ban on Dieudonne M’bala M’bala’s one-man show The Wall (Le Mur), which contained sketches including the performer miming urination against the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
