Laura Codruţa Kovesi concludes her seven-year tenure as the head of the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) on Friday, leaving behind a well-regarded institution. She warns of threats to its independence and efficiency due to underfunding and political pressures. Kovesi, the first European chief prosecutor, will be succeeded by German prosecutor Andrés Ritter starting November 1. The EPPO, operational since June 2021, investigates crimes affecting EU financial interests, including fraud and corruption. A recent European Commission report highlighted the EPPO's effectiveness, noting a significant increase in active investigations.
