European prosecutors conduct searches in probe of far-right group's EU funds
The European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) conducted searches in four European countries on June 30 as part of an ongoing investigation into the alleged misuse of EU funds by the Identity and Democracy (ID) group, which included France's Rassemblement National (RN).
The European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) conducted searches on June 30 across France, Spain, Italy, and Belgium. These operations are part of an ongoing investigation into the potential misuse of European funds by the Identity and Democracy (ID) group, which included France's Rassemblement National (RN) from 2019 to 2024. The probe, initiated following a report from the European Parliament's financial affairs directorate, is examining alleged financial embezzlement. Reports indicate the inquiry is progressing rapidly. One analysis suggests the RN has utilized European Parliament resources to support radical far-right initiatives and individuals, including those advocating for "remigration" and a "white Europe."
