Geissens in the mess: Luxury hotel is forced!
Grimaud, Frankreich - The celebrity family Geiss is confronted with serious financial difficulties. Her four-star hotel "Maison Prestige Roberto Geissini" in Grimaud has to be auctioned off. The auction is scheduled for April 25, 2025, with a starting price of 1.5 million euros. This dramatic turn comes after the tax debts of the Geissens have grown to over 7 million euros since 2010, including default interest and fines, such as OE24.at reported. Robert Geiss confirmed in a conversation with the "picture" that they were affected by excessive claims by the French authorities.
The hotel, which was opened in 2015, comprises four villas, three pools and 16 rooms, with overnight prices between 175 and 500 euros. The Geissens had originally planned to sell the property profitably, but did not find a buyer. The French authorities accuse the Geissens of having used an unfair tax advantage with this property.
legal and tax challenges
The property was already purchased in 2008, and according to the French law, the Geissens would have had to resell it after five years in order to benefit from tax benefits. The auction was originally supposed to take place in September 2024, but was postponed due to a calling by Robert Geiss. However, this appeal has so far been unsuccessful. Despite the tense Situation, Geiss is optimistic and hopes to avert the forced auction.
The legal and tax aspects of the forced auction are also important. According to a decision by the Finanzgericht Düsseldorf, ownership transfers can also trigger tax-relevant profits through forced auctions, which could represent an additional burden for the Geissens, such as DetailsOrt Grimaud, Frankreich Quellen
