Altice France suspended a member of its executive committee as a result of the Portuguese corruption probe involving several of its most powerful figures.
Tatiana Agova-Bregou, the executive director in charge of content, acquisitions and partnerships at the telecommunications company, has been placed on leave starting Aug. 1, according to an internal union memo seen by Bloomberg. She has been in the role since 2019. She is the first Altice France employee to be placed on leave, the memo said.
