SUBSIDY FRAUD BETWEEN NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL JURISDICTION

It is impossible to understand the very nature of the criminal offence of subsidy fraud without being familiar with its development and origins. That is the reason why this presentation starts with the development of legal protection of the European Communities financial interests in EU and in Croatia. After a short historiography, special attention is paid to the Proposal for a Directive on the fight against fraud to the Union's financial interests by means of criminal law submitted by the Commission to the European Parliament and Council in 2012. What is the way to share EU budget, where does the money end up, to which areas do most of subsidy frauds belong ; all those questions will be considered. The scope of national and European (administrative or judicial) bodies involved in the fight against fraud to the Union's financial interests is wide ; OLAF, EUROJUST, EUROPOL, European Court of Auditors, ECHR, ECJ. Cooperation between them and continuous promotion of their tasks is of great importance. The role of the European Prosecutor in the context of subsidy fraud and applying ECHR Engel criteria in some recent decisions of the ECJ (Bonda case) are conclusive issues for discussion.
