Emmanuel Macron has faced several controversies and investigations during his presidency. In 2018, his security aide Alexandre Benalla was placed under formal investigation after being filmed assaulting protesters. More recently, in April 2026, French financial investigators attempted to search the Élysée Palace regarding alleged corruption, favoritism, and influence peddling involving government contracts awarded to the events firm Shortcut Events. Access was denied citing constitutional protections, though other premises were searched. Additionally, a 2025 Senate report alleged that the presidential administration knowingly facilitated lobbying for Nestlé despite being aware of illegal treatment of mineral water.
