SPAIN
Spain’s ruling party rocked by major corruption case
Former Popular Party officials fined and jailed in one of country’s largest graft investigations.
" The court also found that the PP itself benefited from a massive
graft scheme involving kickbacks in exchange for public contracts to
businesses, and ordered the PP to repay around €245,000, making it the
first national political party in Spain to be reprimanded in a graft
case. "
