Laura Codruța Kovesi has officially completed her term as Chief Prosecutor of the European Public Prosecutor's Office, overseeing around 3,600 cases, with over 500 involving Romania. The investigations revealed a significant imbalance, with serious cases against high-ranking officials concentrated in Eastern and Southern Europe, while major EU economies like Germany and France remained largely untouched. Kovesi's tenure faced challenges, including insufficient funding and bureaucratic obstacles. Her successor, Andrés Ritter, will lead the office into a new phase starting November 1. Romania accounts for about 10% of the EPPO's cases, with notable investigations but few high-profile prosecutions.
