The Prague Municipal Court began hearing the case four years ago. The charges concern subsidy fraud and damage to the financial interests of the European Union in connection with a 50-million-crown subsidy for the "Stork's Nest" farm. According to the prosecution, the subsidy, intended for small and medium-sized enterprises, was obtained by the farm even though it was in fact tied to the large Agrofert holding, owned by Andrej Babiš.

As a result, the project did not meet the conditions for receiving the funds and secured financing only through the formal transfer of the farm to anonymous shareholders, while, according to the prosecution, it in reality remained under Agrofert's control.
