Paris 2024 President Under Investigation for Salary Irregularities

The French National Financial Prosecutor’s Office is investigating the salary of Paris 2024 president Tony Estanguet, amid broader probes into the Games' organizing committee.

The investigation into Tony Estanguet’s pay was initiated following reports by French media, less than six months before the Olympic Games are set to begin.
Estanguet’s annual salary was set at 270,000 euros in 2018, with potential performance-based incentives not exceeding 20% of his annual salary.
The Paris 2024 organizing committee asserts that Estanguet’s remuneration is strictly regulated and has been approved by France’s General Economic and Financial Control body.
Previous investigations into the Games organizing committee have focused on suspicions of favoritism, conflicts of interest, and misuse of funds in the awarding of contracts.
The organizing committee has expressed surprise at the investigation but is ready to respond to any questions from investigators.
