Press & Media Center
Let's work together.
Investigations that demand answers. Stories that change Europe.
EU Money Monitor is Europe’s first citizen-driven investigative platform exposing fraud, institutional opacity, and misuse of EU funds. We combine fearless reporting, verified evidence, whistleblower protection, and live accountability tracking.
We are pro-EU, but not pro-complacency. Our mission is to strengthen Europe by fixing what’s broken.
