Amazing what can happen if you give even a modicum of independence to an EU institution run by someone who does not treat 🇪🇺 #RuleOfLaw as an inconvenience to member statelets and to EPP corrupt barons like Mitsotakis.
"This stopped being a purely Greek issue when Article 86 stood in the way of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) in at least two major cases involving EU funds. The #EPPO is responsible for prosecuting any crimes damaging the EU budget."
Multiple 🇪🇺 subplots in the 🇬🇷 tragedy of the #Tempi train crash, including the bereaved mother demanding accountability from a Greek govt. hellbent on covering up the #EU funds fraud being a religious fundie who'll probably end up in PfE (Ingeborg: "Life is complicated, #Europe too"). But none more intersting to me than the 🇪🇺 rule of law angle. Your national goverment does not care about rule of law, it will cover up for a fellow EUCO member, but #EPPO says naaah.

A third of VAT fraud cases is linked to Slovakia.
The head of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) delivered a stark message during a visit to Slovakia late last year.
The EU’s most senior prosecutor told Slovak MPs that a staggering one in three VAT fraud cases investigated by her office has links to Slovakia.
How can such fraud flourish in Slovakia and is it a new problem?
Four years after becoming operational, the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) has proven itself an effective supranational institution under the leadership of Laura Codruta Kövesi, the Office's first Chief Prosecutor. Her non-renewable 7-year term ends on the 31st of October 2 ...
