Former EU top diplomat Mogherini resigns as rector amid fraud probe

Former EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini has resigned as rector of the College of Europe amid a fraud probe, she said on Thursday in an email to staff, students and alumni, which was seen by Reuters.

The European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) this week accused Mogherini and two others of procurement fraud and corruption.

Her lawyer said Mogherini denied any wrongdoing and was cooperating with the investigation.
