Polish link in Spanish corruption scandal?

Luis Bárcenas, former treasurer of the Spanish People’s Party, transferred €130 million from a Polish bank account without disclosing the sum in his financial statement. Prosecutors investigating a major corruption scandal in Spain suspect that this operation was part of a money-laundering procedure. Bárcenas transferred the money from a Bank Pekao account in 2009, shortly after news of corruption in his party first surfaced. According to Spanish media, the sum most likely came from the sale of real estate in Poland. Prosecutors suspect that the Polish transaction was one of many that the politician used to cover up his earlier corruption practices.
