Interior Ministry mismanaged EU funds

The Interior Ministry is reported to have mismanaged public and EU funds to the tune of 390 million crowns. The Supreme Audit Office says it found irregularities in a number of projects aimed at establishing an advanced central system for electronic communication undertaken between 2008 and 2014. It also criticized the ministry for having avoided holding public tenders for several important contracts. According to the office 85 percent of the financing came from EU funds and the Czech Republic may have to return the money.
