Fabrice Leggeri accused of misleading MEPs over failure to appoint officers to protect rights, as Frontex role in migrant ‘pushbacks’ is investigated
The head of the EU’s border force is under growing pressure to stand down after being accused by the European commission of acting unlawfully and giving misleading evidence to MEPs.
The allegations against Fabrice Leggeri, the executive director of Frontex, relate to the agency’s failure to recruit any of the 40 officers it is obliged to employ to protect the rights of people crossing into Europe.
