The arrests are tied to an EPPO investigation implicating politicians, farmers and subsidy agency officials
Greek authorities have remanded three key suspects in custody over an alleged €2.5 million EU farm subsidy fraud scheme, linked to a wider investigation by the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO).
The Athens-based probe centres on alleged fraud involving EU agricultural subsidies and has implicated farmers, politicians and OPEKEPE, the agency responsible for distributing the funds, in a scandal that has rocked Greece’s political establishment.
Earlier this week, Greece’s Financial Crimes Unit dismantled a network that allegedly secured subsidies through false declarations submitted via agricultural aid application centres.
