The Lower Danube River Administration in Galati purchased two vessels with European Union money. The cost of the purchase was reported as seven million euros. The ships were later found to be unable to travel on the Danube when water levels fall. Four officials of the administration have been brought before a court. The case was initiated by the European Prosecutor’s Office, which is led by Laura Codruța Kovesi. Prosecutors allege mismanagement of the EU funds used for the ships.
