Spanish media has published revelations of regulatory manipulation and conflicts of interest surrounding former Finance Minister Cristóbal Montoro and his alleged close relationship with Codere SA.
Mossos d’Esquadra, the Autonomous Police Agency of Catalunya, has published initial findings of its investigation of ‘Equipo Económico‘, the former consultancy practice of Montoro.
A figurehead in Spanish politics, business and economics, Montoro is the twice-serving Finance Minister of Spain under the former Partido Popular (PP), conservative governments of PM José María Aznar (2000-to-2004) and PM Mariano Rajoy (2011-2018).
The investigation relates to Montoro’s former business contracts, dealings and lobbying prior to serving in the cabinet of PM Rajoy.
