General Inspectorate of Finance leaves Public Prosecutor's group created to prevent fraud with European funds

The IGF, the Portuguese state service with audit and anti-fraud coordination functions in the area of European funds, was accused of a lack of cooperation and of transmitting incorrect information to the European Union. The Ministry of Finance says that the IGF left the group created by the Public Prosecutor's Office because it does not agree with the criteria and intervention methodologies recently adopted by it.
