Slovak police conducted a major anti-corruption operation codenamed Aurelia, targeting a company suspected of defrauding European Union development funds worth nearly €863,000. The investigation centers on allegations that the company falsely claimed to have implemented production process innovations that were never actually introduced into their manufacturing operations. The case represents another instance of EU funds abuse in Slovakia, where companies have been known to apply for development grants by claiming to introduce new technologies or processes, only to pocket the money without making the promised improvements.
