SloveniaA corruption scandal involving false agricultural subsidies has been ongoing in Greece since last year. Four members of the ruling New Democracy party and several high-ranking public officials are among the 22 accused of enabling payments for non-existent pastures, falsified numbers of livestock, and land not owned by applicants. The European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) has dropped charges against seven current and two former MPs due to lack of evidence but continues investigating three others. The investigation also involves allegations that dozens of private individuals were allowed to claim subsidies for land they did not own and that more animals were reported on farms than actually existed. The scandal has increased pressure on conservative Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, whose family has had significant influence on Crete for over a century. The Greek parliament revoked immunity for 13 MPs from the ruling party earlier this April, and EPPO announced investigations into 20 members of the ruling party earlier this year.
