The English articles I could find don't contain all the most recent information but this is a decent summary, albeit incomplete. Basically this politician used her network of non-profits and private companies to blatantly embezzle lots of subsidy money through forged invoices, double payments, ...do you have a link to the story? would like to read up on the scandal lol
Somewhere along the line she also destroyed around 9000 accounting files and refuses to explain why they were missing.
While not illegal, she also funneled lots of additional subsidy money into her and her brother's pockets by using her other private companies to charge massive unnecessary licensing fees to the non-profits. She'd register a name on a private company, apply for subsidies with her non-profit and then pay huge amounts in licensing fees to that private company with the non-profit's subsidy money.
