The European Public Prosecutor’s Office, EPPO, has opened an investigation into suspected subsidy fraud linked to EU-funded projects intended to help unemployed people enter the labour market. At the EPPO’s request, searches were carried out in Berlin, Germany, on Tuesday. The suspected fraud involves €717,000 in subsidies for the labour-market support projects. The investigation focuses on alleged fraud connected to EU-backed measures aimed at improving access to work for unemployed people. EPPO has not reported details of how the alleged scheme worked beyond the EU funding purpose and the size of the subsidies. The case is being pursued by EPPO through the investigation, with searches conducted as part of the probe process. The matter is ongoing, with EPPO continuing the investigation following the searches in Berlin.
