French investigators have launched a legal probe into the pay of Tony Estanguet, the head of the Paris Olympics organising committee. The investigation will focus on how Estanguet receives his pay as chief executive, including his use of his own company to bill the organising committee. Estanguet is paid 270,000 euros per year pre-tax, with possible bonuses. This development comes as Estanguet is preparing for the upcoming Games and aims to shift attention to the preparations. The Olympics have faced previous corruption issues related to the awarding of Games and construction contracts.
