Equipo Económico

Equipo Económico is a firm co-founded by Cristóbal Montoro, who served as Spain's Minister of Finance from 2011 to 2018. The firm is currently under investigation by a judge in Tarragona regarding potential financial irregularities and a possible scheme involving Montoro using his position to influence legislation benefiting gas companies. The investigation focuses on payments made to former partners and family members connected to Equipo Económico, with authorities scrutinizing bank records of Montoro, the firm, and approximately twenty other individuals and entities.
