UPDATE 1-Olympics-Paris 2024 president Estanguet faces legal investigation over pay

Paris 2024 president Tony Estanguet is facing a legal investigation over his pay, the organisers of this year's Olympics told Reuters on Tuesday.

The preliminary probe into Estanguet's pay is one of several surrounding the Games. In October, authorities raided the Paris 2024 headquarters as part of a probe into alleged favouritism which also targeted event management firms.

The prosecutor's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. ($1 = 0.9306 euros)
