PARIS: Police raided the headquarters of the Paris 2024 Olympics on Tuesday, just over a year before the opening ceremony of the quadrennial sporting showpiece.

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.
