Supreme Audit Office uncovers dubious subsidies in the area of sport

The Supreme Audit Office has filed three criminal complaints with regard to dubious subsidies in the area of sport, allocated by the Education Ministry in the years between 2011 and 2013. According to the office’s spokeswoman the ministry distributed 800 million crowns in a highly questionable manner. In other cases, subsidies were sent without a formal request for them from the respective benefactor. Police are investigating the complaints on suspicion of abuse of office and mismanagement of public funds.
