One seminar or two? Advisor to Agriculture Minister subject of police investigation

Police are investigating whether an advisor to Agriculture Minister Petr Gandalovič attempted to defraud the European Union, Czech Television reported. Petr Greger used EU funds to pay for two seminars for judges and other experts on public tenders and EU regulations last year. However, there are doubts about whether the second seminar actually took place. Some of those listed as having taken part say they were not there. For his part, Mr Greger said the second seminar was held, though some of the invited speakers may not have come.
