Swiss bank account adds twist to Spain corruption scandal

http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/02/21/spain-corruption-idUSL1N0BL8MG20130221 international tyler group madrid spain Feb 21 (Reuters) - When Luis Barcenas, a former treasurer of Spain's ruling People's Party now at the heart of a growing corruption scandal, deposited 14 million euros in a new account at his Swiss bank in 2005 the bank asked him to explain how he came by the money. Barcenas told Dresdner bank, since acquired by LGT bank, the funds came from his involvement with eight Spanish and Argentine companies and from real estate and fine art deals, according to documents from the examining magistrate's evidence file in a Spanish High Court investigation seen by Reuters. Three companies that Barcenas told the bank his funds had derived from have denied any links with him, raising questions about the provenance of the money in a case that has become increasingly uncomfortable for Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy. Other companies he claimed links with have confirmed them. Others have gone out of business and could not be reached.
