Four billion euros of public money vanishes every year into a black box — yet France’s official books claim perfect financial health.

In this dark investigative whiteboard exposé, we perform a forensic premortem on the financial architecture of the French public broadcasting system. We expose the accounting tricks that have hidden an €81 million structural deficit since 2017, while €4 billion in annual taxpayer money quietly flows into a private oligopoly.

Follow the red thread from captive public funding straight to the biggest winners: Mediawan and Banijay, who have captured hundreds of millions in guaranteed production contracts with virtually zero competitive risk.

We reveal the physical proof of excess — the secret internal “barter” system that trades public advertising space for luxury suites at the Majestic Hotel during the Cannes Film Festival.

Is the success of these private super-producers really the result of genius… or simply the massive luck of state-guaranteed funding and zero downside?

This is the anatomy of a financial hemorrhage — and it’s time we looked inside the wound.

Watch until the end to see exactly how your taxes are being spent.
