Riot police officers charged over travel expenses abuses

A dozen officers of the EBR riot police unit were charged with abuse of office, for claiming travel expenses they were not entitled to.

The officers sought to be paid expenses on days when they were not actually on duty outside of their home towns. The claims were filed in 2023 and 2024, and amounted to over 1.1 million denars. After the abuses were recorded, charges were drawn up against the officers.
