MADRID (EFE) .- The Spanish National Court lowered to 34 million bail solidarity of EUR 800 million imposed on the BFA-Bankia entity, its president Rodrigo Rato, who was head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and three other exconsejeros for alleged irregularities in its IPO.
The magistrates of the Criminal Division partially upheld the resources affected imposed against their bail last February by Judge Fernando Andreu.
Andreu claimed 800 million severally liable to the defendants to cover possible civil liability for the IPO of Bankia, which eventually ended up bringing the group alone, last March 17.
From the beginning, BFA-Bankia made it clear that he would claim his excúpula the proportion of the amount of the bond, and it sent a Notary Public to each demanding that bring the 133,330,000 March 26.
Only one of them, the former CEO Francisco Verdú, responded to this requirement, which ends next Sunday, but says it has no obligation to take that figure nor the costs of the deposit made by the group, who chose that path voluntarily to pay the bail when he could have chosen other means such as providing goods.
The president of Bankia, Jose Ignacio Goirigolzarri, announced on Tuesday the bank will go to the civil courts to order the seizure of the assets of Rato and the other three defendants exconsejeros up to the amount claimed, which today has been reduced by 96%.
According Andreu, the analysis that questioned the accounts that Bankia went public, an offense is apparent in the Penal Code punishes those as “stewards of fact or law to a radio company values, falsify economic and financial information contained in the Prospectuses of any financial instruments in order to attract investors or depositors. “
The National Court investigates the accounts of the entity, which in 2012 had to receive an injection of public money estimated at nearly 18,000 million euros to alleviate the accounting hole
