Ex-IMF Chief Found Guilty of Embezzlement will NOT Go to Jail
The Local (Spain) ^ | 3 March 2017

Spain's anti-corruption prosecutor on Friday allowed former IMF chief Rodrigo Rato to remain free and without judicial supervision despite a jail sentence of four years and six months for embezzlement.

Rato, who is also a former Spanish economy minister, will now remain at liberty until the court rules definitively on his case.

Rato was sentenced on February 23 for misusing funds when he was the boss of two Spanish banks.

He was tried with 64 other former executives and board members, accused of misusing €12 million ($12.7 million) between 2003 and 2012. He is expected to file an appeal.

It’s such a joke. The IMF. The EU. The UN.

I spit on all of these entities. And throw the bushes in there as well.
