Paris Olympic and Paralympic organizing committee chairman under investigation by French authorities over compensation amount. President Estangue denies any wrongdoing on his part and has indicated that he will cooperate with the authorities' investigation.
According to reports, President Estanguet had been receiving 270,000 euros a year, or approximately 43 million yen in Japanese yen, up until 2020, which exceeds the maximum executive remuneration for non-profit organizations set by French law. With less than six months until the opening of the Games, new suspicions are spreading.
