The Organizing Committee for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games is being investigated by the anti-corruption brigade for possible irregularities in the awarding of public contracts. The information, advanced by the AFP agency and confirmed by RMC Sport, indicates that the searches are being conducted within the framework of two preliminary investigations opened in 2017 and 2022 on suspicion of favoritism.
In statements to the French media, the Organizing Committee assured that it will cooperate with whatever is required: “We will fully cooperate with the investigators to facilitate their investigations,” they pointed out. Fourteen months before the celebration of the Olympic Games, there is no record so far of any judicial investigation against the committee: “We are bound by confidentiality not to share more information on the subject,” they added.
Some sources confirmed that the workers of the Paris 2024 organization received an email this morning requesting their cooperation during the registration of the anti-corruption brigade. The record comes on the same day that public broadcaster France Info reported that several large construction companies carrying out jobs for the Games were sued by undocumented workers, accusing them of working without a contract and without respect during working hours, among other alleged wrongdoings. .
