Four Greek MPs indicted in EU farm scandal
The European prosecutor's office on July 16 said four Greek members of parliament were among 22 people indicted over a multi-million-euro EU farm subsidy scandal that has rocked the government.
The agency said the indicted defendants also included "several former high-ranked public officials and political staff, as part of an investigation into an alleged organised fraud scheme involving agricultural funds".
EU prosecutors in October estimated the bloc's losses from the alleged scheme at more than 19.6 million euros ($22.5 million), while Greek authorities last year estimated damages of at least 23 million euros.
The scandal has led to the resignation of several Greek government ministers and other officials.
