EU prosecutors arrest 21 Croatians for fraud with European Union agricultural

The European Public Prosecutor's Office announced today that it had arrested 21 Croatians, including a current civil servant and a former civil servant, as part of an investigation into possible corruption and fraud involving European Union agricultural subsidies.

The head and a former special advisor of an agricultural payment agency in one of Croatia's counties were among those arrested in coordination with local police and Croatian tax authorities on suspicion of abuse of power and authority and taking bribes, as noted in a statement.

A former expert is suspected of forming a criminal gang with two other suspects to help farmers obtain agricultural subsidies by 'inflating' pastures and forging documents in exchange for financial rewards since 2020. /CNA
