The European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) has closed its case against seven lawmakers from New Democracy regarding alleged irregularities within OPKEPE, a rural payment agency. This follows an investigation into a group of eleven New Democracy members of parliament. However, prosecutions will proceed against four currently serving lawmakers in connection with the same case. The initial investigation focused on potential misuse of funds related to OPKEPE. Details surrounding the dropped charges have not been fully disclosed, but the EPPO deemed insufficient evidence to pursue further action against the seven. The remaining four lawmakers will now face prosecution, signaling a continuing legal process. This development marks a shift in the ongoing investigation into allegations of financial misconduct.
