Register entry

Rodrigo Rato is recorded in this register under the heading “Court record”, in connection with the role of Former chairman, Bankia · Caja Madrid. The entry is filed to Madrid (Spain), which is the location associated with the role in the published material rather than a statement of present residence or employment.

The Spanish national court recorded the misuse of unreported 'black card' expense accounts at Caja Madrid and Bankia; separate proceedings examined the 2011 flotation of Bankia. The register reproduces the substance of the linked source and does not extend it. Where a matter has been appealed, reopened, or closed without findings, that position is stated as the source states it, and the summary line for this entry reads: “Convicted by the Audiencia Nacional in 2017 over undeclared corporate expense cards.”

The entry rests on a published judicial decision or an established news agency report of one. It records the finding as the court expressed it, and nothing beyond it. Readers assessing counterparty, employment or reputational risk should treat this page as a signpost to the primary material — cited here as Audiencia Nacional / Reuters — and should verify current status directly with the issuing court, authority or publisher before acting. Corrections and right-of-reply requests are handled through the register's legal notice.
