EUObserver reported that the European Commission blocked over €4 billion of money for Polish roads in January 2013. It took the decision after the Polish prosecutor accused 11 people - 10 of them CEOs of large construction firms and one of them a director in Poland's road agency, the GDDKiA - of colluding to fix prices for tenders for EU-co-funded projects.
