The 2012 Activity Report of the OLAF Supervisory Committee has added to “doubts about the work of the European Anti-fraud Office,” remarks Die Presse —
Normally there should be no doubts. […] But the forced resignation of European Commissioner, John Dalli last October, in which OLAF played a major role, has reinforced the impression that it makes use of dubious methods.”
For the Viennese daily, the report presents an image of an organisation “which is feverishly trying to avoid external scrutiny […]. The entirety of OLAF, along with its director-general Giovanni Kessler, are responsible”. On its website, OLAF deplores what it terms “attempts at misinformation,” which aim “to give a false impression of issues relating to the investigation” of John Dalli.
