Overview

  • The Tribunal de Cuentas sanctioned Vox for accepting unidentified cash donations and misclassifying revenues from 2018 to 2020, violating Spain's party financing laws.
  • This €862,496 fine is the second major penalty against Vox in under a year, bringing total sanctions to over €1.09 million.
  • The Tribunal's decision was narrowly approved by a 7–6 vote, with two dissenting counsellors questioning the severity of the penalty.
  • Key irregularities include €330,000 deposited via ATMs labeled as 'promotional activities' and prohibited targeted donations in 2019.
  • Vox has announced it will appeal the decision, calling it unjust, while the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor continues its probe into alleged opaque fundraising methods.
