Greece is in a farming subsidy mess as farmers claim tens of thousands more cows and sheep than official records show, sparking fraud fears and raising questions about government transparency. Data from the agriculture ministry and stats agency don’t match, with subsidy claims suggesting growing herds while official numbers shrink. Farmers say oversight is nonexistent, relying on unreliable spot checks — and some claimed animals may even be imports. The European Public Prosecutor’s Office is already investigating agricultural fraud, having indicted lawmakers, as Greece scrambles to comply with EU demands. The European Commission says progress is being made, but warns a long road remains to ensure subsidies reach legitimate farmers only.
