THE ex-Popular Party treasurer currently embroiled in Spain’s slush-fund scandal is suing his former party for ‘unfair dismissal’.
Contradicting a statement from PP secretary general Maria Dolores de Cospedal, Barcenas claims his work with the party was only terminated on January 31 of this year, Â rather than in 2010.
If Barcenas’ claims are true, it means he was fired the same day El Pais published ledgers implying PP members, including Rajoy, received bonuses from a €38 million slush-fund.
According to the lawsuit, Barcenas says he was paid €21,300 per month to advise the party after stepping down as treasurer in 2010.
Barcenas filed the lawsuit the same day he appeared before the High Court to explain the €38 million he allegedly held in Swiss bank accounts.
Barcenas made the claim after De Cospedal filed a defamation lawsuit against him and El Pais over the ledgers, which appear to show that De Cospedal herself also received bonuses from the slush-fund.

Is he giving the finger to Rajoy? lol, what a numskull.
Barcenas not only has a lot of nerve, he’s also an idiot.
What kind of person creates a slush-fund for money laundering and embezzles millions in Euros from that and then claims that he’s done nothing wrong? He’s been caught scheming on 2 or 3 occasions now. I am perplexed as to why this person is still able to move about freely. There a definite problem with our modern politicians’ moral compasses. The whole Spanish Govt at the executive level are all a bunch of crooks. This s.o.b. also has had the gall to file for the unemployment insurance as of two days ago. He’s a millionaire and wants to be on the dole as well. W.T.F is up with these Spanish Judiciary system? Hell, and everyone says that Italy is corrupt???
