Spanish prosecutors cite bribery and influence-peddling suspicions involving PSOE

Prosecutors say there are signs that Spain’s PSOE party may have been involved in bribery and influence-peddling.

They allege party resources may have helped an investigated group, including through payments linked to Leire Díez.

The prosecutors say the evidence is not enough yet to formally investigate the party, and more inquiries are needed.

The case matters because it concerns whether a political party’s controls prevented possible illegal activity.
