The former Vice President of the Government

Rodrigo Rato

has regretted this Friday having to sit on the bench for the investigation into the origin of his fortune, despite the fact that he is not accused of any of the crimes that led to his arrest in April 2015.

The former minister, who has traveled to the Madrid courts of the Plaza de Castilla

to collect the order to open the oral trial

, has assured that the

tax crimes attributed to him

refer to professional work carried out through companies, a practice habitual in liberal professions, and that in other cases, such as former presidents of the Government or former ministers of the current Executive, have never been brought criminally.

The case began in the spring of 2015, at the request of the ONIF, the

Anti-Fraud Office dependent on the Treasury

, which alerted the Madrid Prosecutor's Office of irregularities in the assets of the former president of Bankia and led to a process that began with the arrest of Rato .
