NGO Files Complaint Over EU Fund Misuse

Radio Popolare Strasbourg 14d Impact 5

An NGO has filed a report with the European Anti-Fraud Office regarding the misuse of millions in EU funds by a far-right group previously led by Marine Le Pen. The allegations involve the misappropriation of funds in Strasbourg and impact the current structure of the Patriots for Europe group, which includes Italy's Lega and France's Rassemblement National. The group is currently facing scrutiny from both the European Parliament and anti-corruption NGOs. The NGO Transparency International has requested the European Anti-Fraud Office to open an investigation into Vega-Philippe Klais, the former Secretary-General of Identity and Democracy. The investigation follows reports regarding the misuse of 4 million euros by the Patriots group.

The report suggests measures including the suspension of funds due to political continuity with the Scholten group.
