EU Investigating Palestinian Authority
(AP/Newsday) The European Union's anti-fraud office, OLAF, said Wednesday it was investigating the Palestinian Authority's use of EU-donated funds. The office said that there were allegations that some funds were being used for terrorist purposes, according to "information received...in recent months from a number of different sources." The announcement came a day after a group of EU lawmakers asked the European Parliament to launch its own inquiry into how EU funds are being used. If OLAF uncovers fraud or financial mismanagement, it will try to recover the money and may provide the EU or national governments with information that could lead to administrative or criminal prosecutions against individuals.
