EU Prosecutors Probe Croatia Over Suspected Farm Fund Fraud

The European Public Prosecutor’s Office has launched a criminal investigation into suspected corruption and fraud involving European Union agricultural funds in Croatia. Authorities confirmed that police are collecting evidence across several central regions as part of the ongoing probe.

According to prosecutors, the case involves Croatian nationals accused of abuse of power, bribery, subsidy fraud, and document forgery within an organized network. The alleged activities are believed to have harmed the financial interests of the European Union, though officials have withheld detailed information to protect the integrity of the investigation.

The development follows a similar controversy in Greece, where EU prosecutors recently uncovered widespread fraud linked to farm subsidies. That scandal led to fines, political fallout, and legal action against multiple individuals, highlighting growing concerns over the misuse of EU agricultural funding across member states.
