PARIS (Reuters) - The French tennis federation’s (FFT) headquarters and FFT president Jean Gachassin's home have been searched amid an investigation into alleged ticket trafficking, French judicial authorities said on Tuesday.

The French financial prosecution service said it had seized "documents useful to the investigation" as it looks into alleged corruption related to the sale of tickets for the French Open and into the "conditions of awarding of the contract for the extension of the Roland Garros stadium".
