According to Reuters, the implicated MPs deny any wrongdoing. This development follows a cabinet reshuffle by Prime Minister Mitsotakis earlier this month, which included the replacement of three ministers in response to the scandal. The ongoing investigations pertain to alleged offenses from 2021, including incitement to embezzlement and falsification of documents. Prior allegations against numerous livestock farmers involved claims of falsely representing land ownership to obtain EU funds, with assistance reportedly provided by public officials and politicians.
