The PP requests the National Court to indict the PSOE for illegal financing

The Partido Popular (PP) has formally requested the Audiencia Nacional to investigate the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) as a legal entity. The legal filing, submitted on Tuesday by Spain's main opposition party, asks that the governing party be formally investigated for alleged crimes including illegal financing, bribery, embezzlement, influence peddling, and money laundering.

The action targets the PP's primary political rival amid ongoing judicial proceedings. According to the statements provided by the PP, the written submission was officially registered in Spain's high national court to initiate these specific criminal inquiries against the socialist party.
