2005 Le parquet de Nanterre a ouvert une enquête préliminaire sur d'importantes irrégularités lors de la construction, en 1996 et 1997, d'immeubles de bureaux dans le quartier de la Défense, près de Paris. Selon la DDE, entre 38 000 et 40 000 mètres carré ont été bâtis en fraude. Vivendi a déjà déboursé 15 millions d'euros pour régulariser le permis de construire de trois tours, construites par la Sari, et dont la surface était supérieure de 8 000 mètres carré à celle prévue dans les plans.
