The committee added that it is cooperating fully with the investigators to facilitate the search process, stressing that the search is still continuing at the organizing committee’s headquarters.
The investigators are from the Central Office for Combating Corruption, Financial and Tax Crimes, and from the Financial Unit of the Judicial Police, according to the same source.
Fourteen months before the 2024 Paris Olympics, no judicial investigation has yet been known targeting the committee, which was formed in the form of an association under the 1901 law. The French Court of Auditors closely monitors its activity and is scheduled to publish a report soon in this regard.
In April 2021, two reports from the French Anti-Corruption Agency on the organization of the Olympic Games indicated the possibility of a violation of integrity and conflicts of interest, which offends the image of the “exemplary” Olympics that the head of the organizing committee, Tony Estanger, has long desired.
It is worth noting that the French city of Paris will host the Olympic Games from July 24 to August 11 next year.
