EU prosecutors have sued the European Court of Auditors (ECA) for not allowing several of its staff to testify in an ongoing fraud investigation that involves the ECA’s former president. The European Public Prosecutor’s Office’s (EPPO) lawsuit was filed on 10 February, but the arguments were only published in the EU’s Official Journal today.
