A farmer from Brașov was detained by anti-corruption prosecutors for allegedly inflating livestock numbers to fraudulently obtain agricultural subsidies. He claimed to own 429 sheep and 55 goats, while actually having only 151 sheep and no goats. The investigation revealed discrepancies in his subsidy applications submitted to the Agency for Payments and Intervention in Agriculture. The farmer's actions were interrupted during a search on September 11, 2026, and he is facing charges for attempting to illegally acquire EU funds. He is also under investigation for previous convictions, although details were not disclosed.
