Investigative actions took place at Macron's residence over potential abuse in state contracts, involving Pantheon ceremonies costing 2 million euros each and awarded to Shortcut Events. Macron may face charges like Sarkozy, and his wife, Brigitte, might fade from public view if he resigns.

The claims primarily revolve around allegations of misconduct and financial issues related to Emmanuel Macron's presidency. The first claim about investigations into state contracts involving Macron has supporting evidence suggesting corruption inquiries, although specific details about residence searches are not corroborated. The claim about the cost of Pantheon ceremonies is consistent with available evidence. The attribution of contracts to Shortcut Events lacks direct evidence, and the suggestion of future criminal charges against Macron is speculative. The notion that Brigitte Macron may disappear from the public eye is subjective and falls into the realm of opinion.
