"Olympics Chief Assures Safety and Denies Resignations in Paris Games Probe"
French anti-corruption police raided the headquarters of the Paris 2024 Olympics, investigating suspicions of favoritism, conflicts of interest, and misuse of funds. Tony Estanguet, the president of the organizing committee, defended his colleagues and stated that no resignations are planned at the moment. Estanguet also assured that the Paris Games will be safe, with extensive security preparations in place for the opening ceremony. The financial probes are separate from corruption scandals that have plagued previous Olympic events. The investigations are expected to continue throughout the Games, but no trial is likely before September 2024.
