Police searches are underway at the headquarters of the municipality of Le Havre, in northern France. The investigation sees at the center - according to what Le Monde writes today - the former prime minister and mayor Edouard Philippe.

Philippe has not hidden his presidential ambitions for 2027, according to the paper. The woman had reported Philippe and his two collaborators to the financial prosecutor's office last September. According to him, the decision was made due to lack of experience and dedication, the woman says.
