Police raid Paris Olympics HQ in anti-corruption probe ahead of 2024 Games

Police officers have raided the headquarters of the 2024 Paris Olympics organisers as part of an anti-corruption investigation.

A Paris 2024 spokesperson said on Tuesday morning: "A police search is currently under way at the headquarters of the Organising Committee. Paris 2024 is cooperating fully with the investigators to facilitate their inquiries."

The search was ordered by France's national financial prosecutor's office, and began soon after 9am. No further details were revealed. The Olympics will be held in Paris over July and August next year, with the Paralympic Games taking place between August and September.
