Laura Codruța Kovesi concludes her seven-year term as head of the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO), overseeing investigations into frauds totaling €67 billion. She warns of political pressures and funding shortages affecting the institution's future effectiveness. Kovesi, who became the first European chief prosecutor in 2019, highlighted the need for more staff and resources to maintain independence. The EPPO has seen a significant increase in active investigations, with 3,602 cases reported by 2025. Despite challenges, Kovesi believes the EPPO has proven its capability to tackle cross-border fraud. She reflects on her tenure as the most challenging of her career, without revealing her future plans.
