Andalusian ERE scandal
The Andalusian ERE scandal refers to a major political corruption case in Andalusia, Spain, involving the misuse of public funds. It centered around the Regional Government of Andalusia and the fraudulent distribution of funds intended for workers affected by layoffs. The scandal revealed that millions of euros were misappropriated, leading to widespread public outrage.
The investigation uncovered that several high-ranking officials from the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) were implicated in the scheme. In 2019, a court sentenced multiple individuals, including former regional presidents, to prison for their roles in the scandal, highlighting significant issues of accountability within the government.
