The Greek and Great Greek plot to defraud the EU – Politician

While fraudulent applicants have already been taken to court, no one in the organization has been accused. On the contrary, every time the agency authorities tried to take measures to dismantle the scam, the Minister of Agriculture of the time forced them to leave.
