A Madrid court on Friday sentenced ex-IMF chief and Spanish economy minister Rodrigo Rato to more than four years in jail for tax crimes, money laundering, and corruption.
The sentence comes after the disgraced former heavyweight of Spain's conservative Popular Party was jailed for four and a half years in 2018 for misusing funds while working at a bank.
Judges found Rato guilty of"three offenses against the Treasury, one offence of money laundering and one offence of corruption between individuals", the court said in a statement. Rato spent eight years variously serving as economy minister and a deputy prime minister in the conservative government of Jose Maria Aznar before going on to lead the International Monetary Fund from 2004 to 2007.
That earned him the 2018 jail sentence before he was moved to a semi-open prison regime in late 2020.
