## Coverage angles

Media outlets cover the same PNF searches, but the center emphasizes the concrete targets (luxury real estate agency, villas) and the procedural framework, while the right highlights the spectacular nature of the operation and the image of the billionaires' island.

**Common ground**

- Searches carried out by the National Financial Prosecutor's Office (PNF)
- Locations concerned: the island of Cavallo in Corsica and the Nice area
- Investigation into money laundering and aggravated tax fraud

**Differences**

- The right details the intervention resources (helicopter, air forces, number of investigators), absent from center articles
- The center cites a luxury real estate agency and villas as precise targets, an element not taken up in the right-wing article
- The center mentions a quote on contempt for urban planning, an angle absent from the right-wing coverage
