Greek construction firm fined 50 bln euros over FYROM highway

A corruption prosecutor has charged a construction company belonging to the Bobolas family with money laundering and fraud to the tune of 50 billion euros in connection with the construction of a highway in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.

The charges were leveled after the political opposition in FYROM lodged a complaint, prompting an investigation into the company's activities by the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF).
