Dozens of people across Romania were sent to trial in 2014 by prosecutors from the National Anticorruption Directorate DNA for allegedly committing fraud with EU funds worth hundreds of thousands of RON.

The indictments show that the defendants took advantage of their administrative positions and used forged documents or forged signatures in order to obtain European funds. They were the ones benefiting from these frauds, or even relatives or people close to them.

According to a statement of DNA, cited by local Agerpres, some of the people prosecuted were mayors, public servants and company administrators.
