Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis faces charges over an alleged $2 million fraud involving European Union funds after Czech attorney reopens investigation against him
Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis speaks during a news conference following talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in Kiev, Ukraine, November 19, 2019.
Police allege that Babis had only temporarily removed the farm from his Agrofert holding, the largest Czech agricultural and food company, to make it eligible for the subsidy.Prague prosecutors cleared Babis, his family members and aides in September, saying the farm met the definition of an independent small or medium-sized company.
Zeman added that the prosecution only involves Babis and his aide Jana Mayerova, while Babis' family members including his wife were cleared. Babis has flatly denied any wrongdoing, saying he had transferred Agrofert into two trust funds, as required by a new Czech conflict of interest law. The auditors found that Babis was still the owner of Agrofert and, since February 2017, of two trust funds which he directly controls.
