Two of those arrested in connection with the illegal subsidies case from OPEKEPE during the period 2019-2024 from the regions of Kozani and Agrinio finally testified today and were released with restrictive conditions. These are the parents of the alleged ringleader of the scheme. The defendants, who denied the charges, were subject to a ban on leaving the country and bail of 10,000 euros each.
Earlier, criminal charges were brought against the arrested individuals on a case-by-case basis for directing, forming, and joining a criminal organization, fraud against the financial interests of the European Union exceeding 120,000 euros, and money laundering.
