The French National Financial Prosecutor's Office has opened a preliminary investigation into Malakoff Humanis, a major French provider of supplementary health insurance and personal risk insurance. The group, the second-largest social protection provider in France, is suspected of active and passive private corruption committed by an organized group. Searches have been carried out at the company's premises as part of this legal procedure.
Millions paid to an intermediary
At the heart of the accusations are millions of euros in commissions paid to an intermediary already known to the authorities. These payments raise questions about possible irregular compensation practices within the mutual insurance group. The judicial authorities are seeking to determine whether these financial flows conceal an organized system of corruption.
Malakoff Humanis responded by firmly denying any illegal kickbacks. The group disputes the accusations against it and affirms its intention to cooperate with investigators. This case highlights business practices in the social protection sector, where referral fees are a recurring topic of debate.
