Ex-chief accountant seeks new role

Almost a year after she was sacked by the European Commission, whistleblower Marta Andreasen is still looking for work. The Commission’s former chief accounting officer, who triggered a major Brussels scandal by exposing serious weaknesses in the Commission accounting system in 2002, has been trying to establish her own consultancy in recent months. She has also begun court action against Brussels seeking the annulment of her dismissal and heavy damages based on violation of human rights claims.
