€2.35bn EU cash is missing
A total of €2.35bn in European taxpayers’ money is missing, presumed lost, the EU’s financial watchdog revealed today.
The sum is part of almost nearly €3.1bn which was distributed wrongly - or fraudulently – in farm subsidies between 1971 and 2002.

"Presumed lost", I love it! :D
Watch out for a bunch of farmers buying a Premiership Football club.
Wait a minute, aren't John Magnier and JP McManus farmers? :eek: :D
