Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy ordered an internal and external audit of the ruling People’s Party’s finances as he tries to stem the fallout from allegations of kickbacks being paid to top officials.
The probe will go back to the founding of the People’s Party in 1989 and the results of the investigation will be made public, Maria Dolores de Cospedal, the party’s deputy leader, said at a press conference in Madrid today.
