The European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) has indicted 22 individuals, including four active members of the Greek parliament from the New Democracy party, in connection with a scandal involving illegal agricultural subsidies through the Agricultural Payment Agency (OPEKEPE). The charges are related to activities that took place in 2021, where it is alleged that the accused manipulated agricultural subsidies to the benefit of specific parties.
The four parliamentarians facing prosecution are Konstantinos Skrekas, Christos Boukoros, Michalis Senetakias, and Katerina Papakosta. They are accused of various offenses, including the misuse of European funds aimed at supporting farmers under the Common Agricultural Policy. Alongside the MPs, several former officials of OPEKEPE, including its former president and other former regional directors, are also involved in the indictment, facing multiple counts related to abuse of trust and misappropriation.
The legal proceedings against these individuals are expected to move swiftly, with trial dates anticipated in September or early October. The government's response to the charges has been to downplay the severity of the allegations, while opposition parties have criticized the government for attempting to obscure the implications of the scandal. As the case unfolds, there has been significant political tension as both the government and opposition react to the ongoing investigations.
