The president of the organizing committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Cojop) in Paris, Tony Estanguet, is the target of an investigation recently opened by the national financial prosecutor’s office and relating to the conditions of his remuneration, AFP learned, Tuesday 6 February, from a source close to the matter.
The investigation was entrusted to the Parisian judicial police “last week”, said this source. Tony Estanguet received annual remuneration of 270,000 euros gross until 2020, according to figures communicated by Cojop in 2018. But Cojop being a 1901 law type association, the remuneration of its directors is capped by law at significantly lower levels.
