Czech Agriculture Minister Martin Šebestyán states that the previous government failed to initiate the recovery of subsidies from Agrofert, despite having ample time to do so.

The Czech Ministry of Regional Development confirmed receiving a letter from the European Commission regarding Prime Minister Andrej Babiš's conflict of interest concerning Agrofert, and is preparing a response.

The Supervisory Board of the State Agricultural Intervention Fund (SZIF) has called on its director, Petr Dlouhý, to immediately begin recovering subsidies from Agrofert, a company formerly owned by Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, for the past four years.

After five years, the Czech Ministry of Industry has started to reclaim seven subsidies for Agrofert subsidiaries that the European Commission refused to pay out following an audit into Andrej Babiš's conflict of interest.

The European Commission has requested confirmation from the Czech Republic that Agrofert has not received new subsidies since December 2025, seeking clarification on how the country is preventing conflicts of interest involving Prime Minister Andrej Babiš.

The State Agricultural Intervention Fund (SZIF) has stopped payments to Agrofert and will review whether the legal arrangement, where former Prime Minister Andrej Babiš transferred his shares to a private trust, complies with national and European legislation.

With the government complete, Andrej Babiš (ANO) having placed Agrofert into a trust, and parliament not issuing him and Tomio Okamura (SPD) for criminal prosecution, the ANO movement's four-year term of unrestricted rule begins.

The State Agricultural Intervention Fund is reviewing the legal structure of Agrofert, a holding company whose shares were placed in a private trust by Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, to ensure compliance with national and European legislation regarding subsidies.
