The French radio and media landscape never stops being rocked by scandals. After the affair of Mathieu Gallet Office that investigations have brought back to its proper proportion, that is to say not much, after the resale for over EUR 85 million of the chain 23 number whose single asset is to hold a given frequency by the state, here are the taxis notes Agnès Saal, President of INA, for less than a year … The current CEO of the National Institute of Audiovisual (Ina) spent more than 40 000 taxi bills with the G7 company in ten months, assures Monday Le Figaro Eco .
