EC anti-corruption unit probes grant for ANO leader’s farm project: report

Europe’s anti-corruption squad OLAF has begun to probe the circumstances of how a project of ANO leader and finance minister Andrej Babiš was given 50 million crowns, the news server Neovlivní reported on Wednesday. It said the initial investigations by the body found sufficient grounds for a deeper probe into why funds designed for small and medium sized companies for promoting tourism flowed to the massive Agrofert company and its project for a farm on the outskirts of Prague. The farm was later transferred from the group another company solely owned by Babiš.
