European Prosecutor Laura Kovesi addresses Delphi Economic Forum

At the 11th Delphi Economic Forum held last week, European Public Prosecutor Laura Kovesi participated in an interview with journalist Pavlos Tsimas. The discussion centered on her office's ongoing investigation into an agricultural subsidy scandal involving OPEKEPE in Greece. Kovesi's presence and remarks drew significant attention from attendees and media. Commentator Ilias Kanellis noted that while the European Public Prosecutor's Office is a useful institution, its investigations and subsequent legal filings must be evaluated by the judiciary. Kanellis argued that it is not the prosecutor's role to substitute for the court or to engage in political disputes with governments. The interview, which can be viewed on the official forum website, highlighted the current tension between legal oversight and political administration. The event underscored the critical role of European oversight in domestic agricultural funding matters.
