Monday, at the end of the day, two computers and a badge belonging to a manager responsible for developing the Lille Olympic site were stolen from her car parked in front of her home in Lille. One of the stolen computers is likely to contain security plans for the infrastructure of the Olympic village of Villeneuve-d’Ascq. From July 27 to August 11, the preliminary basketball phases and the final handball phases will take place at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy. Investigations are underway to identify the suspect.
“In accordance with Paris 2024 procedures, all data recorded on Paris 2024 computer equipment is encrypted and protected by passwords and, as soon as the theft was reported, the computer was locked remotely,” confirmed a member of the Organizing Committee. The stolen badge would be for identification and would not allow, according to a police source, to open any doors.
This is the second theft suffered by employees working for Paris 2024. In February, a bag belonging to an engineer from the city of Paris and containing a computer and two USB keys, where notes related to the Olympic Games were stored Paris, had also been stolen from a Gare du Nord train.
