French actor Gerard Depardieu enters his home in Paris yesterday as the French government accused him of trying to dodge taxes by buying a house in Nechin over the border in Belgium. He retorted he was leaving because “success” was now being punished in his homeland. A popular and colourful figure in France, the 63-year-old Depardieu is the latest wealthy Frenchman to seek shelter outside his native country after tax increases by Socialist government.
