Overview

• 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.
