Investigators in Europe, Dubai, and Lebanon are said to be examining a complex case involving money laundering, sponsoring terrorism, alleged residency fraud, financial irregularities, tax evasion, and overlapping personal relationships spanning between France, Monaco, and the Middle East.
At the center of the investigation conducted by authorities are two sisters. The oldest, Nathalie Hachem, a 46-year-old Lebanese-born woman who relocated to France a decade ago under a student residency declaration tied to an address in the hillside town of La Turbie. The younger sister Pamela Hachem, age 40, is a not a tax-resident of Monaco due to her part time residence in Dubai.
Recent Monaco Police Corruption Revelations
Both sisters were recently implicated in a police corruption case involving a senior officer of the Monaco national police named Mylène Gambarini (also known as Mylène Dargent). The case involves recently revealed audio tapes of the police captain and Nathalie contacting Pamela Hachem’s ex-husband to allegedly extort him.
In at least two recording calls (first call and second call), Captain Mylene of the Monaco National Police Department can be heard telling the ex-husband that Pamela instructed her to inform him that police are on their way to raid his properties in the UK and furthermore advising him to rent a new apartment under a different alias for the purpose of avoiding search, arrest, and seizures.
Marriage to French Free Masons Member for French Citizenship
In 2020, Nathalie entered a civil partnership (PACS) with Xavier Faurite, a longtime member of the secretive “Free Mason” group who works as an IT consultant based in Monaco known for his work in environmentally optimized computing systems.
Though officially registered under a separation-of-assets agreement with Xavier Faurite, multiple sources claim the romantic relationship with Nathalie was short-lived, with the pair separating as friends prior to their fictional marriage.
For the past 6 years, Nathalie resides at her sister’s apartment in Monaco, and not with the “husband” Xavier Faurite. Nevertheless, Hachem declares to the French Government on her residency and citizenship applications that she resides in France with Xavier.
To solidify the relationship with Xavier Faurite is non-existent, during 2022 through early 2026, Nathalie Hachem maintained a 4-year relationship with Guido, aka “Dr. G.”, a Latvian physiotherapist reputed in Monaco’s athletic circles. According to witness accounts, tensions between the two escalated in January 2026, culminating in a public confrontation at a restaurant where Nathalie could be heard threatening Dr. G with police and prison, and shouted “you are dead to me”.
Dr. G expressed willingness to cooperate and provide admissible judicial evidence to legal authorities proving he was in a romantic relationship with Nathalie Hachem for the past 4 years and furthermore collaborate the entire marriage between Xavier Faurite was for Nathalie Hachem to fraudulently receive French citizenship.
Dr. G claims, “Nathalie and I were in a relationship for over 4 years. I know Xavier well. He has always supported our relationship. Nathalie and I have traveled to Latvia, and she met my parents as my girlfriend”.
SmartInvest: Business Activities and Real Estate Holdings
Nathalie is a managing partner of SmartInvest, founded in 2023, with her sister Pamela Hachem. The company began with €1,000,000 in capital and declared it is primarily engaged in acquiring (whether properties are under construction or completed), contributing, owning, enhancing, transforming, building, developing, managing, leasing, and occasionally selling all real estate and related rights or assets.
SmartInvest SCI acquired (without a mortgage) a €900,000 property Beausoleil, adjacent to the Monaco border. Over the past 2 years, the apartment has been under renovation with over a million euros invested.
Alleged Links to Terror Financing and Money Laundering
According to a leaked intelligence report, Pamela Faris Hachem and Nathalie Hachem are involved in a money laundering scheme on behalf of the Iranian IRGC and Lebanon’s terror organization Hezbollah.
In August 2025, Lebanon’s Department of Counterterrorism and Anti-Money Laundering unit opened an investigation, and by October 2025, the Lebanese Central Bank Governor ordered the seizure of Pamela Hachem’s bank accounts and safety deposit boxes.
In Jan 2026, Pamela Faris Hachem was found guilty by Dubai courts for theft and sentenced to a month in jail. The verdict additionally requires her to pay the courts a 565,000 dirham fine which equals 135,000 euros. A translated version of the verdict can be viewed here. In addition, Pamela is currently under investigation by the United Arab Emirates authorities for stealing foreign government documents from a diplomat.
According to a source familiar with the case speaking on condition of anonymity, “Pamela and her sister Nathalie are suspected of being involved in money laundering on behalf of the Iranian IRGC to Lebanon’s Hezbollah terrorist group. The investigation is ongoing. The sisters are known to live an opulent lifestyle in Monaco using a sophisticated money laundering eco-system.”
The source explains the sisters were not born into wealth by stating, “The Hachem sisters grew up in a poor family from Hasbaya, a city of 5,000 residents situated at the foot of Mount Hermon in Lebanon. Their mother Rosette is a housewife and their father Faris a carpenter. Neither of the sisters have executive role professions or an explanation for their wealth”.
Lebanon’s SIC (Special Investigation Commission) continues to have an active investigation. Financial records reveal repeated transfers from Pamela Hachem to the Eptalex Law Firm, a Swiss Verein-structured international firm established around 2015, headquartered in Abu Dhabi with key offices in Dubai, Riyadh, Beirut, Istanbul, Milan, and extensive MENA alliances.
Financial Networks and Legal Representation
Eptalex represents Pamela Hachem in the Lebanese terrorism case, leveraging its global footprint and Lebanese presence to navigate anti-money laundering proceedings. Transactional records show repeated financial exchanges between Pamela Hachem and Marie Michelle El Khoury, the legal counsel managing her affairs amid the ongoing case (no. 9311) with Lebanon’s Department of Counterterrorism and Anti-Money Laundering.
The intelligence report states the same Eptalex lawyer Ms. El Khouri, operating from Dubai, is involved in facilitating the AML (Anti Money Laundering) paperwork and financial transactions to SmartInvest in France to the tune of millions of euros.
Employment, Professional Claims, and Income Questions
Pamela Faris Hachem, a non-tax-resident of Monaco, is a known socialite appearing on multiple adult websites offering in-house and global escort related services. One of her clients, an investment banker at Montpensier named Clement Devouassoud from Paris, France, was observed by intelligence agents meeting at Bonnie Restaurant in Paris and ending the night with her at the Le Meurice Hotel.
According to Dubai leaks, Pamela owns three luxury properties without any mortgages or liens (Oceania, Shoreline, and One at Palm Dorchester) on the Palm Jumeriah in Dubai worth a total value of €12,000,000.
Lifestyle, Wealth Discrepancies, and Asset Ownership
An editorial review of the corporate documentation of SmartInvest SCR reveals Nathalie Hachem listed herself as a resident of Monaco, presumably to avoid paying taxes. The declaration of Nathalie’s address on the SmartInvest SCI corporate paperwork contradicts her official address (2 Route de Nice, La Turbie in France) listed with the French Government for residency and citizenship.
Further investigation into Nathalie’s assets includes several cars, namely ownership of a Rolls Royce Ghost valued at €500,000. The car registration reveals her home address at 11 Avenue Saint Michel, Buckingham Palace, Monaco.
Employment, Professional Claims, and Income Questions
Nathalie Hachem is employed by Monaco Brands. The company owns the trademarks to over 100 brand names including “Monaco”, “Monte Carlo”, etc. Any business using those names in their logos, menus, promotional material, etc., must receive permission from the company.
According to insiders, the employment is strategic to connect Hachem to business owners. In social circles, Nathalie introduces herself as a lawyer despite not having studied in law school or being admitted to the Bar Association. Nathalie’s job at Monaco Brands is purely clerical to provide customers with contractual agreements. She earns an average workers salary that does not justify owning property or luxury vehicles such as a Rolls Royce.
Structure of the Alleged International Financial Network
A foreign intelligence officer familiar with the case who spoke to our investigative journalists on condition of anonymity stated, “Pamela Hachem and her sister Nathalie alleged money laundering scheme uses various deceptive methods to bypass AML compliance.”
He stated, “We’ve identified Elzamly (local Dubai main support system) operating via NDVI (Dubai investment advisory firm) as the principal structuring node coordinating cross-border channels and counterparties. France—Crédit Agricole (CACIB) appears as the institutional anchor enabling SBLC-based trade/guarantee cover (SWIFT MT760) to provide documentary legitimacy for cross-border movement.”
The officer read from his notes, “Vivek Rao serves as Managing Director of JSG Consultancy, a Dubai-based firm specializing in financial services for the UAE, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia markets. Transactions are facilitated via Azad Virji, an India-based execution with Dubai operations controlling a support network feeding operational throughput, while Mauritius is the offshore SPV routing layer consistent with layering and pass-through structuring. Lebanon is an auxiliary ecosystem comprising local entities via a facade structures and financial intermediaries that can complement the Dubai node.”
He concluded by explaining the legal front by stating, “The Eptalex law firm, through Marie Michelle El Khoury, together with Nathalie Hachem, are the enabling layer providing legal and corporate services and connector functions supporting continuity, documentation and facilitation across jurisdictions.”
Georges Maroun Kikano (“GMK”) and Influencer Connections
According to insiders, Pamela Faris Hachem is in a 4-year relationship with Georges Maroun Kikano aka “GMK”, a Lebanese native “Youtube celebrity” residing in Monaco and known as a super car social influencer. GMK is also suspected by intelligence authorities related to the source of his wealth, and furthermore participating in the conduits that allow Pamela and her sister to allegedly launder money on behalf of Iran and the Hezbollah terrorist group.
GMK owns over ten million euros in super cars and expensive watches, along with property in Monaco. Despite publicity suggesting he’s the son of a wealthy father involved in maritime transactions to describe the source of his wealth, he is not. He is estranged from his father (a poor aging average worker) who lives in Lebanon. According to sources, prior to GMK’s parent’s divorce, his mother was in a relationship with a Monaco resident and moved him to Europe during his teens.
According to insiders, Pamela Hachem and Georges Maroun Kikano aka “GMK” have deep ties to the House of Grimaldi (HRH Prince Albert), Europe’s longest-ruling dynasty (since 1297), causing Middle Eastern intelligence agencies to abstain from being cooperative or sharing information with France or Monaco authorities.
Growing Calls for Deeper Scrutiny
As the investigation continues to unfold across multiple jurisdictions, the case raises broader questions about regulatory oversight, financial transparency, and cross-border enforcement. While many of the allegations remain unproven, the volume and consistency of claims emerging from various sources have intensified scrutiny around the Hachem sisters’ financial activities and declared residency status.
In particular, the apparent discrepancy between reported income of GMK and Nathalie Hachem, asset ownership, and lifestyle has prompted calls for closer examination by French tax authorities, specifically TRACFIN.
The ‘Traitement du renseignement et action contre les circuits financiers clandestins’ is the French financial intelligence unit (FIU) operating under the France’s Ministry of Economy and Finance. It combats money laundering, terrorist financing, and illicit financial operations, and is responsible for reporting suspicious activities to judicial authorities.
A thorough review of Nathalie Hachem’s declared earnings, corporate structures, and cross-border financial flows require global law enforcement and tax authority cooperation.
Additionally, questions surrounding Nathalie Hachem’s civil partnership to Xavier Faurite residency declarations have led some observers to suggest that French administrative authorities failed to review the circumstances under which the residency rights were granted. Verifying the legitimacy of such arrangements is essential to maintaining the integrity of immigration systems and national security.
At this stage, no final judicial conclusions have been reached. However, the convergence of financial, legal, and personal elements in this case underscores the need for coordinated investigation between French, Monégasque, and international authorities. The outcome may not only determine individual accountability but also highlight potential vulnerabilities in existing oversight frameworks.
