The raid also targeted three other corporate sites of the state-controlled telecoms group, which has a 40 percent share of country’s fiber broadband sector.

A spokesperson for Orange confirmed that a raid took place, without elaborating on either the timing or extent.

The group has launched legal procedures to contest seizures by the French competition authority, the spokesperson added.
