Merrill Lynch executives arrived in Taipei to clarify the company's role involving in the possible money laundering by family members of ex-president Chen Shui-bian, a local newspaper said on Tuesday.
The European Commission is set to issue a scathing indictment of high-level corruption, maladministration and failures in the handling of European Union funds in Bulgaria.
That's according to a draft report on the management of EU funds in the member state, which joined the bloc in January 2007. It said that as a result, Brussels has barred four Bulgarian agencies from handling EU funds, freezing nearly € 1 billion in pre-accession aid and threatening future payments.
The report is due to be adopted by the EU executive next week. Bulgarian Deputy Prime Minister Meglena Plugchieva, who was appointed this year to clean up the handling of EU funds, is set to hold a meeting with the EU's anti-fraud agency in Brussels this Friday.
