Last Gerard Depardieu drama: Russian passport
Today News : A brief announcement posted on the Kremlin website said that Mr Putin was acting "to satisfy the application for citizenship Russian Federation Gerard Depardieu Xavier, who was born in 1948 in France."
Mr. Depardieu, star of more than 170 films and have often politely referred to as "colorful" public figure, was locked in a high-profile battle with the new socialist government of France on emergency tax, which will charge a 75 percent rate for people earning more than $ 1 3 million. He recently refused French citizenship and settled in Belgium, which offers a more friendly tax regime for the super-rich.
France's high court overturned the law last week, as "unconstitutional", but the government announced that it will soon re-measure after the Court concerns into account.
It is not clear whether Depardieu actually used to live in Russia, which has a 13 percent income tax for everyone, but in the far-reaching a press conference last month, Putin said: "If you really want to have Gerard residence or Russian passport, you can consider it done, the issue has been resolved positively. "
Putin also said that he had long enjoyed the "kind, friendly, personal relationship" with the French actor.
