EPPO carries out searches in probe into suspected EU funds misuse in Romania

"According to the investigation, the administrator of the beneficiary company falsified statements to declare works that were not fully executed," EPPO said in a press release on Tuesday.

"It is alleged that tax invoices, work reports, and quotations were forwarded to the intermediate body for the management of EU funds, appearing to attest to the completion of works that, in reality, were not fully executed," it added.

During the searches, over 112,000 euro and 17,300 lei ($3,800/3,480 euro), as well as data and media storage devices were seized.

The EPPO is the independent public prosecution office of the European Union, investigating crimes against the financial interests of the bloc.
