OLAF seeks to mend fences with media

European Union (EU) anti-fraud unit OLAF is trying to repair relations with EU journalists which were soured by the raid on the home of Stern reporter Hans-Martin Tillack, who was investigating the Eurostat financing scandal. OLAF is organising an October 28 seminar with the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and anti-fraud organisation spokesmen group the European Anti Fraud Communicators’ Network (OAFCN) on creating good working relationships between law enforcement agencies fighting fraud and the media.
