French security services rejected more than 4,000 applications for Paris 2024 Olympics accreditations, including over espionage and cyberattack concerns, according to the country's interior ministry.
Speaking on Sunday, acting interior minister Gérald Darmanin said French authorities have so far checked close to one million accreditation requests for the Games that kick off on 26 July and had rejected 4,340 people – some over radical Islamist connections or suspicion of being foreign spies.
