Spanish authorities are examining payments made by the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) to former party member Leire Díez, as part of a broader judicial investigation into alleged influence peddling and attempts to interfere in legal proceedings.
According to documents submitted to a Madrid court, the PSOE’s regional branch in Cantabria paid Díez a total of €44,859 between 2015 and 2017 for communication consulting services. The payments were made in two phases: €32,903 between September 2015 and February 2017, and €11,956 between March and September 2017. The latter amount reportedly includes compensation for early termination of her contract.
