Overview
- Rapporteur Charles Alloncle alleged, using conditional language and without presenting evidence, that Nagui benefited most from public money over the past decade and may have taken several hundred million euros.
- Nagui rejected the claim, saying he is not a France Télévisions employee, works through his company Air Productions, employs hundreds of staff, and delivers profitable programs to the public broadcaster.
- He recounted his career across public and private media, including founding Air Productions in 1993 and later selling it to Banijay, while noting he is salaried at France Inter and works with Banijay.
- The presenter said the remarks triggered waves of hateful messages and warned he will take the dispute to a court of law rather than let it play out on social networks.
- The commission of inquiry plans further hearings and is expected to audition Nagui, with its bureau meeting to set the calendar and reassert a serious framework as Alloncle’s methods draw internal criticism.
