Raids were carried out at the headquarters of the committee, which is known as Cojo, and at the offices of Solideo, the body in charge of the Olympic construction sites, according to several news reports. This is the first such raid on the organising committee headquarters. But Paris is the the third straight Summer Games organiser implicated in investigations led by anti-corruption authorities in the French capital.
Two years ago two reports by the French anti-corruption agency highlighted"risks affecting probity" and"conflicts of interests" which it warned could impinge on the"whiter than white" image of the Games that the head of the organising committee, Tony Estanguet, wished for.
