Spain Health Minister Ana Mato resigns amid Gurtel scandal

(BBC) Spain's Health Minister Ana Mato has resigned after a judge accused her of benefitting from illegal payments.


Her ex-husband, Jesus Sepulveda, was found to be linked to a huge corruption case involving the ruling People's Party.

A court issued a formal ruling which signalled that Ms Mato had no knowledge of any possible crime.

The scheme caused a scandal for PM Mariano Rajoy, who apologised after party members were arrested by police.

Ms Mato has not been named as an official suspect in the case, but will have to sit in during court hearings, judicial sources have told Spanish press.
