Rajoy will not be charged with corruption in the PP
The National Court has no grounds to do
USPA NEWS -
The National Court investigating illegal financing of the conservative Popular Party (PP) in Spain and not charged to the party president and the Spanish Government, Mariano Rajoy, alleged the lack of "sufficient evidence" to do so.
According to the High Court, former PP treasurer Luis Barcenas and Alvaro Lapuerta, in prison for the alleged illegal financing of the Popular Party and recognized the existence of a 'box B' in the conservative party, acted "without intervention" by his superiors, so it does not count against the Prime Minister and leader of the Spanish conservatives, Mariano Rajoy, and the general secretary of the PP, Maria Dolores de Cospedal, or their predecessors, former ministers and Angel Acebes Francisco Alvarez Cascos.
The National Court believes that there is not "sufficient evidence" to believe that Rajoy and the three other party officials were aware of the existence of a 'box B' in the PP for the illegal financing of the conservative party and therefore not there are for impute. However, the judges do consider proven that this illegal funding existed and found evidence of the 'bite' in awarding the contract for street cleaning in the city of Toledo, in the region of Castilla-La Mancha, of which she was president Maria Dolores de Cospedal when the facts occurred.
