Suspected ERDF-related fraud in Croatia investigated in complementarity by OLAF and EPPO

In June 2021, the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) transmitted to the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) information concerning potential fraud committed in the framework of a project co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) in Croatia. The allegations refer to an IT system procured by the Croatian Ministry for Regional Development and EU Funds.

In the course of its complementary investigation and in close coordination and cooperation with the EPPO, OLAF conducted two on-the-spot checks combined with Digital Forensic Operations in Croatia. 

OLAF’s investigation is ongoing.

More information about this case can be found in the press release published by the European Public Prosecutor’s Office.
