The Judge Is Investigating Whether Montoro's Law Firm Created a "Corporate Network" to Divert Funds.
The judge who charged former minister Cristóbal Montoro is investigating whether the partners of the law firm he founded, Equipo Económico, created a "corporate network" to divert funds obtained from their alleged criminal activity, which the Civil Guard and Mossos d'Esquadra suspect went beyond favoring gas companies.
