EU cleaning fraud potentially worth £30 million

Investigators are studying claims that European Commission cleaning contracts were faked in a four-year fraud potentially worth millions of euros. Belgian media alleged that European Commission employees had provided false contracts for cleaning services never carried out.
Saturday's Le Soir newspaper said the whistle was blown by an accountant with the cleaning company who was fired after he pointed out that figures did not tally with work carried out by the firm.
