The ministers, who oversaw issues like agriculture and civil protection, are all linked to an investigation into the suspected misuse of EU agricultural funds. EU prosecutors earlier this week asked the Greek parliament to lift the immunity of 11 lawmakers as part of the probe, and the departing ministers were among those included, according to people familiar with the case.
