€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.
Full story here. (http://breakingnews.ie/2004/09/21/story167489.html)

"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

I wouldn't be surprised if a large portion of that money is in the hands of corrupt Irish politicians.
