The European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) has filed an appeal against a court's acquittal in a case involving EU farm subsidies.
The appeal targets the recent decision by the Athens court which cleared a defendant linked to illegal subsidies from the OPEKEPE agency.
EPPO argues that the return of the fraudulently obtained funds does not absolve the defendant of wrongdoing.
This appeal may set a legal precedent for similar cases involving fraud against EU funds.
Investigations into potential criminal responsibilities of OPEKEPE employees are also ongoing.
