EU farm fraud scandal rocks Greek government, PM urges swift action

Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis urged EU prosecutors to swiftly decide on indicting lawmakers from his centre-right New Democracy party in connection with an EU farm fraud probe. This action aims to manage the political fallout from a scandal where dozens of Greek stockbreeders were charged last year for allegedly faking pastureland ownership to claim millions in EU farm subsidies. The scheme reportedly involved state employees and conservative politicians. The Prime Minister's call highlights the pressure on the Greek government as the investigation by European prosecutors continues.
