Summer just got a little more interesting for María Dolores de Cospedal. In addition to her statement in front of Spain's national court during the Bárcenas case, an investigation of the Fiscalía de Cantabria is being opened concerning her husband Ignacio López del Hierro, a team member at Liberbank.
Cospedal, the president of Castille-La Mancha, called for an inquiry into Caja Castile La Mancha accounts when the savings bank was bought byyy Liberbank in 2011, but she forgot to fulfill her promise when elected president just a little while later.
Her husband's involvement with the bank, which pays him 7,000 euros per month, sows doubts about the roll that she played. These doubts should be cleared up quickly to keep suspiciouns from becoming scandal.
