MADRID (Reuters) – Spain’s
interior minister said on Tuesday he would give an explanation to
parliament over a private meeting he held with Rodrigo Rato, a former IMF chief who is the focus of a tax and money laundering investigation.
Opposition politicians say it was improper for the
minister, Jorge Fernandez Diaz, to meet someone who is under
investigation and suggested Rato, a former leading light in Spain’s
conservative ruling People’s Party (PP), might be receiving preferential
treatment.
Police unions also criticized Fernandez Diaz over his
July 29 meeting, held at the Interior Ministry, with Rato, a former
Spanish economy minister.
