Bárcenas never left PP payroll


Party was paying ex-treasurer compensation as well as covering social security costs.

Since the scandal broke involving the earnings of Luis Bárcenas and the alleged slush fund he controlled, the Popular Party (PP) has insisted that it broke off relations with the former treasurer in 2009, when he stepped down from that role on a temporary basis. But it has emerged that not only did Bárcenas receive preferential treatment from the party until a month ago — with an office for his documents at the party’s headquarters in downtown Madrid, as well as a secretary in the same building, paid for by the PP — but that he also was being paid a monthly amount by the party until the end of 2012.
