On 6 April, a report from OCCRP said that police began investigating the theft of $19 million back in 2015 and that reporters have now tracked down some of the funds. The money came from an EU project to provide food to hungry Romanians. 4 suspects — 2 of whom prosecutors say were part of a criminal gang the police have dubbed “the Universals” — are now on trial, charged with fraud. The case is ongoing, and the destination of the stolen cash has yet to be made public.
