Spanish MEP admits cash campaign boost amid illegal financing probe
Briefly

Alvise Pérez, a Spanish MEP, admitted to receiving €100,000 in untraceable cash for his party's campaign, prompting an investigation into illegal financing ahead of the 2024 elections.
Pérez stated on Telegram that he received the money 'as a freelancer without an invoice' and faces a 25% fine, indicating a serious breach of Spanish financing laws.
Evidence surfaced of Pérez contacting Álvaro Romillo to create a digital wallet for anonymous funding, seeking between €300,000 and €360,000 to support his electoral campaign.
Spain's law limits donations over €50,000 and mandates reporting all contributions over €25,000, with Pérez's actions reportedly circumventing these legal requirements.
