The European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) said that it arrested five people in Czechia, Bulgaria and Slovakia as part of an investigation into a cross-border VAT fraud scheme spanning ten EU member states, including Slovenia.
The operation took place across Austria, Bulgaria, Czechia, Estonia, Germany, Hungary, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Slovakia and Slovenia. The prosecutor estimates that the group’s criminal activity has led to damages of 32 million euro ($34.8 million).
