Agriculture: where did Europe's billions go?
You will have heard of the CAP. The Common Agricultural Policy is the second largest budget in Europe, with 55 billion euros paid out each year. And, above all, France is the first country to benefit from it, with 9 billion euros per year.
But, strangely, this money does not always go to farmers. In France, some farmers receive nothing, while large groups pocket several million euros in subsidies per year.
The CAP is therefore inequitable, since half of the subsidies allocated go to 20% of the beneficiaries, while 80% have to share the rest.
Read MoreDroughts, floods: who will pay the bill?
A never-ending heat wave, huge fires, torrential rain. This summer, our country has experienced a season from hell. With global warming, natural disasters are multiplying, especially droughts that attack and crack houses. In France, 10 million homes could be affected.
Journalist Mathieu Robert investigated this invisible scourge and discovered that the French are increasingly badly compensated. Insurance companies very often refuse to reimburse the damage. Cash investigation will tell you the story of the obstacle course of these victims of the drought, who are becoming more and more numerous.
Read MoreCompanies, sponsorship, associations: dangerous links
In 2019, the French gave five billion euros to charities. And companies have understood the importance of this for their image. Their donations to NGOs are constantly increasing: 3.5 billion euros this year. But this generosity of large groups may have a hidden side. "Cash Investigation" has discovered that in order to conquer this manna, some associations sometimes forget their missions. Misuse of donors' money, conflicts of interest, lack of calls for tender, the malfunctions are numerous. Yet there is a label, Don en confiance, which is supposed to control them. But there is often a gap between the promise and the reality.
Read MoreSocial security hold-up: who benefits from fraud?
In 2021, according to figures from the French National Health Insurance, 72% of the amount of fraud detected will be committed by health professionals. Elise Lucet and her team investigated dental centres. Some of these groups seem to have become cash machines billing for useless or fictitious procedures. Repentant dentists testify. Former patients tell of being mutilated. Liberal nurses seem to be the health professionals who commit the most fraud. Some of them artificially inflate the bills of insured persons, especially the oldest and most vulnerable patients. Does the social security system manage to recover the money from fraud? With the introduction of third-party payment, the Assurance Maladie must now reimburse health professionals within a very short time. Even if it means carrying out few controls.
Read MoreSuperprofits: multinationals in green
In recent months, some multinationals have been making super profits. Total, for example, currently earns 73 million euros per day. Profits that would finance the energy transition and the fight against global warming. But what about these fine green promises? Elise Lucet and the Cash Investigation team investigated the French oil company's mega project in Uganda and Tanzania.
