Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis recently acknowledged failures in combating corruption, particularly regarding a serious scandal involving the misuse of EU agricultural subsidies. These funds, allegedly misallocated by the agency OPEKEPE, have prompted an investigation by the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO). Mitsotakis's administration faces pressure after accusations against former and current agriculture ministers, leading to the resignation of several state ministers. Despite the issue surfacing months ago, the government only took action after EPPO's findings were presented to the Greek parliament, raising serious concerns about governmental accountability.
Mitsotakis expressed his regret and commitment to combat corruption more vigorously, acknowledging the recent scandal involving EU subsidy misuse as a significant failure of his government.
The misuse of EU agricultural subsidies, involving fraudulent claims and corrupt activities by ministerial officials, has spurred an investigation by the European Public Prosecutor's Office.
