European Public Prosecutor's Office Investigates EU Funding Fraud in Eastern Slovakia

The European Public Prosecutor's Office has launched an investigation into suspected EU subsidy fraud in the eastern Slovak cities of Košice and Rožňava. The probe focuses on the alleged misuse of European Union funds within an information technology project. The European Public Prosecutor's Office, established in 2017, is responsible for investigating crimes against the EU's financial interests, including fraud involving EU funds and subsidies. The investigation targets potential violations in the management of EU structural funds, which represent a significant source of development financing for Slovakia as an EU member state.
