The European Public Prosecutor's Office and the European Anti-Fraud Office together receive less than 0.1% of the EU budget.

- The retrieved EPPO source confirms the EPPO budget for 2025 (EUR 85.9 million) but no source retrieved in this check stated OLAF's own administrative budget figure or the exact total size of the 2025/2026 EU budget, so the combined share is confirmed as a bound rather than with a precise denominator/numerator pair.
- The claim compares the administrative budgets of two anti-fraud bodies with the entire EU budget (which is around EUR 200 billion a year in commitment appropriations); the same sources note that OLAF also manages the Union Anti-Fraud Programme (EUR 181 million over seven years, with a Commission proposal to double it to EUR 362 million), a separate envelope that is not counted in OLAF's administrative budget.
- The claim is a bound ('less than 0.1%') and is rhetorically framed to emphasise the small resources devoted to anti-fraud bodies; the underlying figures do not appear to be distorted, but the comparison of two agencies' administrative budgets against total EU spending is a framing choice rather than a standard statistical indicator.
