OLAF recommends that Bulgaria recover EU funds to the tune of nearly EUR 6 million

According to a recent investigation of the European Anti-Fraud office (OLAF), the Bulgarian Ministry of Interior breached the terms of its grant agreement with the European Commission by using EU money to buy SUVs from older stocks instead of new all-terrain police cars. OLAF has recommended the recovery of nearly EUR 6 million in EU funds and that criminal proceedings could be considered against officials of this country’s Ministry of Interior. 

OLAF's investigation was launched in July 2018 following allegations of fraud and misappropriation of EU funds from an agreement concerning the delivery of 350 vehicles for this country’s police.
