Greek PM seeks EU fraud probe over agricultural subsidies
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis calls on the European Public Prosecutor's Office to investigate lawmakers over alleged misuse of EU farm funds.
On April 6, 2026, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis urged the European Public Prosecutor’s Office to launch proceedings against members of parliament suspected of involvement in a fraud scheme concerning EU agricultural subsidies. EU prosecutors are already investigating multiple lawmakers from the ruling New Democracy party for allegedly submitting false claims to secure subsidy payments. Greek authorities estimate the scheme defrauded at least 23 million euros since 2018, sparking political tensions and scrutiny over governance and transparency in Greece’s handling of EU funds.
