The European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) has opened a criminal case against an Italian national, leader of a criminal group involved in fraud with European and national funds, causing €100 million in damage. Between 2019 and 2024, the group participated in 23 tenders for infrastructure projects in Romania, using false documents to demonstrate financial capacity. They won 13 tenders and are suspected of links to the Italian mafia. The investigation uncovered irregularities in the tender process, jeopardizing works worth hundreds of millions of euros.
