- EPPO in Warsaw is investigating suspected subsidy fraud, corruption, and abuse of office tied to EU digital innovation funding in Poland.
- Eight people were detained, charged, and subject to non-custodial measures; ten searches were also carried out.
- The case involves alleged irregularities in awarding and implementing projects under the “Fast Track – Digital Innovation” program, with OLAF’s report helping trigger the probe.
- Investigators suspect a public official improperly influenced the selection process, and one grant application for about €28.9 million allegedly included forged documents and inflated costs.
- The Central Anti-Corruption Bureau supported the operation, and all suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
