Orban family probed over 'fraudulent' EU projects
By EUobserver
A Hungarian public prosecutor's office on Monday ordered an investigation into Elios Innovative Ltd, a company co-owned by Istvan Tiborcz, son-in-law of Hungarian premier Viktor Orban, after a two-year investigation by OLAF, the EU's anti-fraud office, recommended legal action. OLAF found possible fraud in public procurement whereby Elios was awarded EU-financed projects. OLAF also proposed to the EU Commission to demand €43.7million back from Hungary, according to local media.
